1990 w150 2dr shortbed with stock springs(overloads in the rear) 33-12.50 mt's. It has the not so common tbi360 the aftermarket needs to make more stuff for the tbi motors , and it has an np435 granny 4speed, 3.55 gears f/r with a lsd in the rear sorta lol all clean havnt had it to browns camp, but have had plenty of fun in the trask/upper nestucca area some times slideing towards the edge gets to sacary and u just use the ditch lol now i just gotta find get my money tree to bloom for mods lol plan on 4 inch springs up front a block out back and takeing the overloads out then some 36's hopefully with 4.11's and hopefully a locker out back should be a good start

Looks like you have a decent platform to start on. I know what you mean about not much aftermarket support for the TBI engines. I have a 5.2 TBI in my Ramcharger, and there isn't much around. I'm planning in the future to swap it out for a newer 5.9 Magnum and keep my TF727.
I've got a rebuilt D44 from an '81-'84 Dodge that I'm selling. New seals, wheel bearings, ujoints, balljoints. Also has a brand new Aussie Locker installed, with no miles on since install. Axle has 3.54 gears so it should just be a swap out for your current axle. Also has Warn Premium lockouts on it. A friend was supposed to come swap the hubs for his standard lockouts, but haven't heard from him in a couple of weeks. Send me a message if you're interested.

ya the tbi part is lame, the first maybe 4or 5 months i had it i swore it was a 2bbl carb then my dads friend told me to actualy look down it and it wont look like the inside of a carb sure enough i saw 2 injectors from what i understand the tbi units can be mounted to 2bbl carb intake manifolds the only problem is i cant find any performance intake manifolds for the 2 bbl carbs

Pull the TBI off and run a 4bbl? BTW, see you're in Newberg. I live by the armory.

I wouldn't remove tbi to replace it with a carb, that is moving backward for sure. There is ways to get more power, bump the fuel pressure by adjusting the regulator (a little goes along way) bump the timing a little, get a throttle body spacer, chip the computer, just depends how far you want to go.

no chips for this piggy its old school its one of those tbi units that looks like a carb when you first pop the hood but im thinking a small stroker kit with machined heads and intake manifold, and better injectors and i will prolly be plenty happy with it.....well enough to wait to save up for maybe an mpfi swap or something
