93 Ram Rodent Damage
I've got my hands on a real basket case of a 1993 D150 2wd single cab with the 360 magnum. Short story is it was the last new truck my Grandpa bought before he passed and its been in the weeds for 17 years. I'm now attempting to get it back on all fours, but the rodents have really done a number on it. The engine bay was a literal rats nest so I'll just give a quick rundown of the damage. Engine wiring harness is badly damaged, throttle body has been corroded/seized, intake manifold has holes corroded through, fuel rail is missing the crossover line and the injectors could pass for something out of the Titanic. The body is solid and the frame doesn't have any signs of damage. There's probably more issues i haven't found yet but I figure if I can't get the engine running again then the rest doesn't matter. My ideas are to splice the harness back together and hunt for new/used fuel system parts, carb swap or douse it in gasoline and burn the truck down.
I'm looking for advice on which direction to go in. With the electrical already in such a mess is carb swapping even worth it or would you try to repair the damage to the MPI and Intake?
