Right here we go...
I have a 1995 B2200 on 19" rims and air suspension. When riding low, the lowest point of the truck is about 30mm off the ground.
I want to drop a naturally aspirated 13B in and have several questions for you guys.
No. 1 - Which series block? Series 5 N/A be the way to go? Any mods to the engine itself involved in getting it in the truck besides custom engine mounts?
No. 2 - Stick with the stock truck transmission? or go with the series 5? Which is easier? Safe to run the stock transmission? LSD?
No. 3 - I am looking at a full cut bridge port or peripheral porting. Has anyone had experience with either of these? Average engine lifespan of a bridge port or peripheral port? It will be driven on the street (emissions and noise not a big deal where I am from) but not as a daily driver.
No. 4 - Carb or EFI? Which in your opinion is better? Differences between the two?
No. 5 - Recomended intake and exhaust?
Your help and advice is much appreciated.

#2. S5 trans for ease of install

#4. Carb..... again for ease of install
