Re: Project: Green Machine ~ 1970 Build Up

After we had cleaned the truck up we had started to diagnois the truck and determined that the 6 cylinder wasn't worth the time or the effort in order to make it work correctly so we decided to put in the v-8 that was in or 1967, now parts truck, in the 1970 with a New Process A833 4 speed overdrive tranny out of an 86 Chevy Pickup.

The engine we just basically resealed it with a pan gasket, front and rear main, intake, etc, basically all but the head gaskets.

The tranny we just washed up, checked the fluid, and installed

Installing this we had to grind of 8 rivits with a drill which helped support the old bellhousing in the six cylinder poisition. We also had to track down and Automatic crossmember and a automatic drive shaft which we installed new hanger bearing and u-joints.
