Potential owner from WV.
Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 8:22 amI don't actually own a mightymax yet, but came here for info on them and to help me make a decision. Looks like this is the place for info. I have a 4.3 with about 27k miles on it, it's a 2002 vortec with an edelbrock intake to convert it to TBI. It's in a 2wd astro van currently and I need a small 4wd pickup. There's a nice looking(but looks can be deceiving) mitsubishi 4wd sitting in a field down the road. I'm family so it will no doubt go cheap. So that's what I'm here for, to determine how much is involved in putting a 4.3/700R4/231 into a 2nd gen mightymax.
Oh yeah, and about me, I'm from southern WV. I've been wrenching most of my life and owned mostly S10's or at least Chevy's. Most notable work I guess would be a solid axle swap on an S-Blazer and later a solid axle swap on a Ranger, leafs and coils respectively. So I've hand some fabricating experience, which I assume is needed to swap motors in these trucks. Anyway, I look forward to learning and if I go forward with this project I'll do my best to return the favor.
