Hi,

I have a 78 Chevy k-10 with 72 olds 350 engine and I currently live in northern europe. Getting parts and opinions is very difficult for me.

I am looking forward to get your assistance.

Regards

Welcome. Did this truck originally have an Olds 350 diesel? The gas engine swap was pretty common when the diesel crapped out. What parts do you need, specifically? Rockauto.com is a good source for maintenance items and they ship to Europe.

Hi,
I bought the truck few months ago and according to previous owner it used to have diesel.

I am currently having difficulties with exhaust manifold outlets as I posted here:

Thank you for the welcome brother.

Welcome to the site, we are full of opinions among other things. Engine parts should be no problem, its just money.

Thank you. Engine troubleshooting is easier than dealing with exhaust systems in my opinion I had problems with rocker arms, push rods, all those ticking noises and leaks all fixed except the exhaust.
