Hey guys and gals, it's been a whole since I've been active here. My cj 5 has had a blown motor a 258 for some time now and has been sitting. We haven't had the money to get a new motor. But I've still been here watching in the shadows.
But my luck has changed for the better. I responded to an add on Craig's list for a free running 1990 suburban. Yep, you heard right a free RUNNING suburban. The guy just wanted it gone.
It was his winter 4X4 vehicle. So here in Missouri that means rusted all to heck. But the 350 trans and axles all worked flawlessly. But the reason it was parked last winter was he had blown out a break line. So after an $8 line and a lot of pb blaster I actually drove it home. That kind of thing never happens to me.
Now where I need help. My jeep originally cane from the PO with a 350. I kept having issues with clearance with the distributer and the fire wall. But back then it was a daily driver so I couldn't get rid of the heater. Because it was OUR winter 4X4. Lol so I had a 258 available Andi sold off the 350. I kept all if the conversion parts as a just in case. Well except the fly wheel.that ended up that I didn't take that off the motor.
So question number one what flywheel do I need to get for a 12 in clutch disk? The motor has a one piece rear main seal. second is where would I go to get a wiring diagram for the bourbon. I would like to be able to retain the throttle body that's on the set up that's on the motor. So if I can find a good wiring diagram I'll know where to apply all the powers and grounds to make this thin work.
Any help would be great right now I'm at a stand still till I can at least find out the flywheel info. the parts store guys are useless in this arena. Thanks folks
