Re: 8.1L and 4L85e swap into a 1972 Custom Camper 4WD
Campbel - I'm glad you asked about progress. I've been meaning to update the project thread for a long time, but work just keeps getting in the way it seems. Like Dad said, the cool part is that's its finished and being enjoyed. Makes me pretty happy to see Dad take it to shows and generally having a good time in it. Engine runs real strong and the 8.1 quickly identified a need for a posi in the rear axle (an HO52 no-spin or an axle swap might be in the truck's future). Doesn't take much to light up those tires and driving it around the engine makes it feel like the truck weighs about as much as a Volkswagen.
Here are some more photos of the project in final stages.
