As have I. Though I guess that level is to be expected from a van that was probably a work horse.

So you never did say why you were getting this engine.

The block that is in the truck is too old so the newer timing cover wont seal. I am going though about a quart every two to three days of oil. Luckily at my work we change the oil on every used car so when ever i get one that has had the oil just changed i save the oil.

Aww. I was hoping you were going to put it in the Malibu. LOL

I would but thats the car she drives. I am thinking about getting a blazer. As a backup vehicle and whos knows what might happen. lol

Put a 8.1 in a blazer lol.

Wait, what kind? Please tell me the ol' bigo K-5!

hard to find a k-5 thats not swiss cheese.

8.1 in a 2nd Gen Blazer? That would be kick ass.:c2:c2
