Does anyone know if a 6B (12v) will easily go into a 98+ ? I'm assuming it would come to electrical issues

I started to finish off the sbc at 2am today just got the pcv left to hook up and push it outside and fire it up. I still have front u-joints to install and a little paint work. We are going to sell it, maybe go for a much needed trip somewhere.

Plans do change thats part of life, gotta do what's needed people.

Edit: If I don't get what I need out of it, it will not be going anywhere.

Without knowing how the long arms attach to the frame I can't say that part will work (frame brackets). Coil-springs will fit, pitman arm will not fit, track bar might fit with mods. Is this a coil over shock lift or ??

Replaced the trackbar with an OEM HD replacement. I've had the bar for close to 2 years and was waiting to upgrade the steering linkage at the same time. I probably won't get to that for another couple months so went ahead and replaced the trackbar today. I can tell a difference, but definitely need to upgrade the linkage as well.

I also removed the driver's door panel to try to rig the broken bushing on the lower regulator channel. I used a piece of 5/16 fuel line. It lasted about 2 roll down trips and popped loose again. Guess I'll have to replace the regulator, as I've had little luck locating a replacement bushing.
