Re: 79 GMC Sierra LWB 6.0L swap
You guys posting up all the details of your swaps are probably more help than you know.
Still trying to decide if I want to swap a 6.0 / 4L80E into my dually, but searching and digging through all the various build threads made me a little smarter than I was before. Thanks. |

New trucks run anywhere from 25 to almost 50K. Something tells me I can upgrade my $2500 dually to a late-model drivetrain and get a few more years out of it for a little less than the price of a new CCD. Thanks again, guys. |

Just a couple of pics because I know how much you guy like them. D/S battery tray and test fit on factory filter box. Fits great just like soule64 said it would. :thumbs:

Re: 79 GMC Sierra LWB 6.0L swap
Good stuff! Sorry for not providing more details even though several people asked, but it's been a hectic few weeks. I am glad it worked out for you and it looks great! Have you thought about where to re-position the radiator overflow bottle? A '99 Tahoe fits ok next to the air cleaner on the fender, but it's a little too long for the inner fender (about an inch). I am hitting the salvage yard this weekend and will let you know if I find anything that'll work.

Soule64; went to the dealer today to see how that filter box is installed. It does have two rubber gourmets and a plastic nut so I ordered them today. Less than seven bucks. Guy let me measure the pan to get the hole size and pattern from. He was real interested in seeing the truck when I'm finished, he has an 81 Silverado.

Got my gauges from Dakota Digital easy to install and I like the way the look. Here is a link: http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd158.htm Very small update: Got the motor mount plate for the P/S modified (Thanks to Bob)and the clam shell installed, it clears the A/C compressor so that's good. And of course the D/S was a good fit any but I know how you guys like pics so here they are. Got the Oil cooler line block off plate from Nook & Tranny with the tapped hole for the oil pressure sending unit installed. Will be doing a test fit to get the engine pedestal modified for the D/S (Thanks to Bob) this weekend. I will post pics as soon as I get them. Slow and Steady!!! ;) |

OK... Now I have everything ready. Got the engine mount modified and installed, Drilled the new hole pattern for the new motor mount location, the filter box is installed. A few pics of the rubber grommets that hold the filter box in, still need to get the nut to secure it, but I am pleased at how it turned out. Covered the hole left in the intake tube. I think I am ready..... hopefully I will install the engine and tranny this weekend I have a 3 day weekend so I should have it in soon. :ennyd:
