Wow. My fresh rebuild had more blowby than the black one. Hopefully the rings will seat.

Is it worth a straight engine swap or is the black truck in reasonable shape? You said you want auto trans back though.

Oddly nuff....there is a reman w 8cyl sleeved new just about everything on stamd in shop....wont pull engine from black one...rather have it back up runner....JIC whille runnin blue one. If I can sorce a harness for trans for black truck it instantly becomes daily driver. Blue is leaking n burning so much oil its now on used oil diet... just keep swapping filters

Really black was a mildly used farm truck whom I know previous owner....before fella i bought it from..was sold for 1500 i paolid 500...but quite bit of service.

It gets fresh oil amd filters Sunday or Monday

Hope ca locate harness asap

Oh ya cube van fuel tank coming soon too so 30 plus gallon rear

My fresh rebuild had some blow-by when it first started up. Now, 10,000 miles later, nothing.

Ya rebuildz take a bit to seat rings so work it and it should clear up blow by....do NOT break in on synthetic oil.....JMHO....

I grabbed my two other 92 E4OD harnesses today 1 2wd 1 4wd both a round and rectangular chassis plug arrangement under MC both have BLACK NSS mine in the 91 is grey.

Pondering butchering 3 harnesses and swapping over to BLACK NSS from grey....to utilize better harness and hopefull get this beast working well.

Thoughts n ideas on this plan please????


Thanks for looking.
