    Slant six questions

    I have an 81 with the computer on the air breather, I haven’t used my truck in a couple years so I wanna get back into it. I would like to ditch the computer and go back to a simpler hassle free ignition, what would be the best set up? What to do I have to order and the best place to order from?

    Engine swap maybe

    im thinking of replacing my slant 6 with a 318, will the 318 bolt up to the transmission and will the motor mounts match up? I mentioned this to a friend he said none of the stuff will match up and probably would have to modify all my mounts

    Stereo power

    In my 81 it originally came with a am radio. When I bought the truck the previous owner put in a CD player but I bought the truck without it.

    Charcoal canisters

    i was wondering where a person could purchase new canisters? Or would it be best to completely eliminate them? I have the slant six with the lean burn computer, if I ditched the canisters would that effect the rest of the truck? I know I should just ditch the lean burn and I plan on doing so...
