Re: Ultimate work truck/ 70 K10 diesel

I have to back track some to get up to date,and I am bad about remembering to take pictures, but I'm trying. The first thing I did was pull the nose off and see if the 6.2/6.5 will just drop in. I pulled the motor mounts off my 350, and bolted them on to a spare 6.2 block I had. It dropped in no problem, except it sat back too far, and the heads would have hit.


At this point I pulled the cab off so I could get the 4 speed and 205 out easier. I moved the engine crossmember 2" forward, and replaced my 4wd tranny crossmember with a 2wd auto crossmember. I bolted my 5 speed to my complete 6.2, and set it in the frame to see how it fit. The oilpan wouldn't let the motor slide forward the last half inch, so I modified it a little.



I mounted everything back in, and mounted my transfer case, which I'll have to get pics of. I had to clearence the tranny crossmember some for the front driveline, which coincidently will be the same length as the rear.
