Don't mean to highjack the thread, but kind of related...

I am picking up an I6 this weekend. The guy is not sure if it is 250 or 292, but is from a mid-80s p/u.

I have two 66 LWB C10s.

One has an I6 already with a 3 spd. It has a blown head gasket.

The other has no motor or tranny. It has dual exhaust and was set up for auto transmission.

I have a THM350. Don't know if it is good or not. It was one my step-dad had when he passed away. It was in the shed behind the garage and no one knows anything about it.

Can I mate the I6 with the THM350? Does it need to be long or short tail shaft? Will the crossmember from earlier mod support this setup assuming previous setup was a 350/350?

I want to get the second truck running so I can get the inspection done and get it titled before I sink a large sum of cash into it. If I dont put this in the white truck, it will replace the engine in the red with the blown head gasket.

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks in advance.
