Ok per instruction I'm starting my own thread. I have a 77 280 with an n42 block and p79 head. I drove the car daily before it was parked 7 years ago in DFW Texas. It has been shipped to my current home in southern Oregon and I am trying to get it to what it should be. I am currently going over the body and finding the usual rust spots and such to fix. Now that you know all that junk, here are my questions:
1. If I want to shave the n47 egr intake down to the basics ( crankcase vent, egr, brake booster vacuum, any I'm missing) and get rid of the AAC and cold start do I need to do any ECM tuning? Should I just get a non egr intake?
2. What negatives if any are there of an a/c delete? It never worked anyway...
And I'm forgetting my 3rd question...
It sits right now with the drivetrain out so I can deal with the rust and put new suspension bushings in, when it goes back together I hope to do a few minor upgrades( headers, aftermarket fuel rail, bigger radiator, e-fans.) thanks for any help given
