A brief write up with pics, since it seems this may work. This is how I handled the throttle and kickdown cables going from a Holley 1bbl to Carter BBD 2bbl Super Six in my 1980 D150. Everything appears to function, but is untested as of yet. The Rusty one found me a 2bbl bracket, so I had...

I'm installing a new 225 motor in my 1980 truck. The smog pump is gone and I am definitely not digging the highboy look of the AC compressor. You can see where the smog pump used to mount. Can I use bracketry from older trucks or cars? Or has someone come up with something on their own? Any...

It's number 4 in the pic. I either lost it or it's not needed. Anyone know what it is? Slant brackets are different from V8s.

but not sure, I don't know how to tell from just looking. It's nearby me and for sale.

I'm thinking about having a used motor crated to my home. I'm looking for '81+ 2bbl for my daily driver 1980 truck with A727. I've looked over the chart from Allpar and I'm confused about all the 225 types. There are 1bbl, 2bbl, special order, heavy duty, high performance and standard. Does...

What do I need to get a 1981 225 on my stand? TIA

Hi A guy has a 1981 225 slant he says has a blown head gasket. He wants a $100. He found coolant in two cylinders. I worry about a cracked head or block. Are the slants prone to any cracking? It will be replacing a 1980. Any concerns here? I want to get a little more power so I'm thinking a...

Rebuild say .030 over bumping the compression to 9:1 and an RV10 cam, 2.25" exhaust/stock exhaust manifold and staying with the stock 1-bbl intake and Holley 1945? Can the compression bump be done with different pistons and no milling?

I am located in Albuquerque and looking for a turnkey solution. It's for a daily driver 1980 truck. The motor runs ok now but doesn't have enough power. I thought about a v8 swap, but I want to keep the /6. Plus the truck has a /6 A727 that is working well. Looking for someone close, but that...

1980 truck When I plug the EGR port on the Holley 1945, I have slight hesitation off idle until she warms up. Then everything is acceptable, probably not perfect tho. When I connect the EGR port to the vacuum amplifier, the hesitation is more pronounced and doesn't go away after coming up to...

Was 32* today and nothing. I checked the actuator with vacuum and it works. Thinking the thermostatic switch mounted in the air cleaner doesn't work right. It's a 1980 truck with a Holley 1945.

I'm getting my ducks in a row for this upgrade on my 1980 A727 truck. I can't seem to find a 1-barrel carb that works right and I'm tired of farting around. I'm assembling a parts list and have a few questions too. The Holley 4-barrel does not support the EGR system, so EGR would need to be...
