I'd really like to do the engine swap, and lower these things a little, and definitely, go with some different wheels.

I've always thought of getting rid of these trucks, but since I found this forum, I've renewed my interest in them.

They are so easy to work on, and I've had this d50 since 96, paid 175 bux for the body, new engine thru pep boys 1100 bux, i think. Been driving it ever since.

Bought the MM 500 bux (blown Hd gasket) when I hit a deer with the d50, changed the hd gasket, idles perfect, buts spits and sputters and lacks power.

Compression checks on all, but failed the leak down on #2, and thats the plug that fouls. Plus the keyway at the harmonic balancer, wallowed out, thats why I'm looking for another engine.
