Meh, that'll buff out

I'm glad you didn't lose the truck completely. But now you have an "excuse" to do a 350 swap lol.

yeah it def. could have been alot worse....and yes i know what caused it...it was a loose fuel line going to the throttle body...

basic breakdown of damages:
plugwires
distributor cap
various wires and connectors/sensors
vac lines
A/C hose
fan shroud
hood

im estimating about 150$-200$ to replace everything....thinking about just taking out the A/C to maybe save a bit...no idea how hard or possible that would be...suggestions?

it is really easy. but i wouldnt damage it while removing unless you plan on never selling the vehicle. if not cut it out if you arent going to use it.
