I would like some suggestion on what to do with my 87 RC... Here is what I have:
1987 RamCharger 4x4, body in very good condition.
318 (I think) with an Edelbrock intake and edelbrock 650 carb. Engine has about 175,000 miles on it.
3 spd auto (727)
Transfer case, which appears to have been before.
Frt and rear axles appear to be original. Gearing unknown.
Interior in fair to good condition... just needs a good cleaning.
The engine runs, but is very weak. It was supposed to be rebuilt at 80,000 miles. Still appears to have the lean burn stuff on it. It has A/C but doesn't work. Almost all of the emissions equipment has be disconnected or removed.
The transmssion appears good other then a few leaks and seems to run well. The transfer case appears to have been into due to the RTV that oozed out from the case. The exhaust system appears to be stock single exhaust with a "homemade" pipe in place of the catalytic convertor.
I am the second owner of this RC and I was considering trying to get it set up to be able to use to go camping with or fishing. so it will have to be able to pull a trailer well.
I would like to get some opinions on what to do with the motor and such... should I rebuild it, replace it, upgrade to a 340 or a 360
I am open to all suggestions about other areas of the RC too.
Thanks
