Hello fellas. I pulled the water pump today, in hopes of replacing due to a leak. For those of you not familiar, my 87 sat for 8 years. When i pulled the pump, i also pulled the t stat. I was amazed to see the condition of the t stat. This also made my decision to pull the intake and valve covers. I am sucking air from somewhere because when i cover the throttle body, the truck stays running. Anyhow, what should i be looking for when i pull these two items? If it looks too bad, im just going to look into a 4.0 swap. Already found a local one for $500.
Thanks guys. Btw, everything i have inspected is corroded from coolant-less water sitting for 8 years.
