AWD V8 swap question

Ok so i have a 91 astro AWD... I found mounts.... I can make the oilpan. Question is... i wanna use a 1991 Caprice engine in the van but the cars motor has an extra sensor that the van does not intake air temp sensor in the air cleaner box. The van doesn't have the 2 wire hookup to run it either so ...

Re: crappy idle on 91 astro

i forgot to mention the idle gets rougher as the engine heats up to operating temp.... no idea why??

crappy idle on 91 astro

My 91 astro awd has a crappy rough idle.

So far i've changed the o2 sensor, plugs, cap, rotor, temp sensor, plug wires test good for resistance...

That's all i've changed but it still has a crappy idle.

Has anyone got any other ideas?

Re: 91 safari awd..speedo stays at 0... most likely cause?

237,000 kms so not really high but I will check the gauges to start.

Thanks

91 safari awd..speedo stays at 0... most likely cause?

Just go this van home today. The speedo was working when i picked it up but died on the way home.

What do you figure it is?

A) Battery is stone dead and had to be boosted?
B) VSS?
C) Wiring?
D) Digital dash issues?

Thanks in advance,
Gordon

91 digital dash to analog dash.. is it plug-n-play?

Just like it says... just got a 91 awd safari but the speedo stays at 0 all the time.

Could be the VSS or could be the dash but i'm curious if anyone has ever swapped a normal dash where the digital was?

Thanks

Re: Torsion bar replacement info needed

So the 4x4 Jimmy/Blazers used the same torsion bar setup?

Torsion bar replacement info needed

Need as much info on changing torsion bars on a 1991 AWD Astro/Safari van.

The ones on this van are both broken and the front end is sittin in the weeds.

93 safari v8 and trans swap

Ok i'm gonna do it...Don't try and stop me!! lmfao I have a question for those of you who have done a V8 swap and trans swap... what's easier: Pull the v6 and trans together or seperate? Install the v8 with or without the trans attached? I have opted to get the 350 with its original 4l60e trans rath...
