427 tall deck in a 1979 K25 GMC
 
I'm in the process of rebuilding a 427 tall deck to put in my K25. I am trying to find out if I can use the 13" clutch assembly and flywheel out of the C70. Also is there a dual plane low rise intake for the tall decks, so I don't have to use the spacers. And will the radiator out of a 2 ton fit in my truck. Also header fitment. The truck will be used to pull a stock trailer and as a wood truck. So the setup should work good as long as everything fits.

The core supports in the c70's etc. are almost identical and the radiators are the same width, BUT the big c series radiators are a few inches taller and possibly thicker. You could probably shoehorn one in but you may not gain enough to make it worth it.
Wish I could help you on the rest but I don't have any experience in those situations.

I'm asking about the radiator because the in my truck is leaking where a seam split. the truck I pulled the motor out of has a new 3 core aluminum radiator in it, and I can get it for 50 dollars.

Take a few measurements of that radiator and go from there then, only way of knowing for sure.
