there is a texas property code somewhere that says what they can do. I'm sure they can fine and possibly tow it at my expense.

Borracho went to his temporary resting place this morning. The storage place is right across the street.
It was supposed to be $25/month, but i talked aggie football with the guy and he gave me "a deal" for $15/month. If i'd know it was that cheap i'd have probably put it there anyway, just so i could park in the driveway.
So I've made some engine decisions. I'm quite positive i want to run fuel injection, but not the setup I have and not the motor i have. I want to ditch both as I dont know the history of either.
I want to drop in a motor that came with stock fuel injection and an overdrive tranny, but I'm unsure of what combinations will work with my tcase, without an adapter. I've heard you cant run a 205 behind a 5.3 with overdrive tranny without a custom output.
What about a vortec motor or TBI motor. If I went with the TBI motor I've read good things about Bowtie Overdrives 700R4s, but dont know anyone that has one.
I guess I need to find out what transfercases are interchangable with a 205...
Need to do some research i guess.
5.3s are cheaper than vortecs or tbis at the j-yards.
yeah scott told me that once, how much did yours run with the tranny, ballpark?
If you don't plan on wheeling it hard, why not just swap in an entire later model drive train. Engine, tranny, and t-case. If something was electronic, i.e. the tranny, it would already have the vss or whatever on the t-case. Also the chain driven cases have a better ratio than the 205. Only catch is the drop of the t-case...
5.3 or 6.0 would be sweet

this being a toy and not a dd (ie reliability is not imperative), why do you want to pull the current stuff out, and why do you not want to run the TPI stuff you have? Wouldn't you rather have a driver in a long afternoon (or maybe weekend) than a project for the next 6 months-5 years? You'll also get a lot more selling a running motor and injection setup than a mystery motor. Or is there a reason that getting it running in its current state is no longer a possibility?
dude, it's a SBC and TPI...there are only two questions on this engine? Is it getting fuel? Is it getting spark? Once the answer is yes to these questions, it will be fine. If it has rod knock or burns oil once it's running, then you can worry about replacing it. It won't cost much more than time to try. Also, if power is a concern, it shouldn't be. A TPI smallblock will make an assload of torque. Plus, the tranny is already mated up to a transfercase and you already have driveshafts correct?

brians blazer has a tbi 350 700r4 and 241 in a 1990
is ur 205 round or figure 8 pattern
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
If it comes down to it, ill buy the fool injecton.
If you just don't feel like messing with the current TPI, this is what I would suggest. From what it sounded like when you got this thing, it would be more of a cruisin'/light wheeling truck, so the extra beef of a 205 wouldn't really be necessary.

No matter what gets done, I think that the end result will end up taking as much time and money, and might be ****tier. (carb)

I plan on pretty much pulling the body off the frame anyway, i see no reason why i shouldnt change the motor out for something i know some techhole hasnt hacked and cludged together. Since its going to see more road use then anything else i want the overdrive.
700r4?
