Re: '85 swb LM7 swap

again thanks for all the tips and info.

$125 for a new pan is cool. I found some pans on ebay last night that were that much used!!

yeah that truck was crazy how bent up it is. i will take some more photos of the carnage tomorrow. we had to cut the frame in 2 spot just to get the motor out.

still need to get the pedal out ftom under the dash. i have a friend that works on the ambulance and he was on the scene of the accident, he said
"be carefull there may still pieces of his legs under there!!"

really sobering thought that the driver was 20 yrs old and left his house with 3 of his buddies in the truck, he died and the other 3 were pretty much fine except for a few cuts and maybe broken bones.

appearently he went to pass another car and for what ever reason went off the road and hit a very large rock.


so the head has most of the threads ripped out 1 0r 2 of the rear bolts broke in the head. i could drill and heli-coil but i really dont want to mess around with that. one of the reasons im doing this swap is i want to be able to drive this thing with out much headaches. who know what else happened to te head if it took such an impact that the bolts ripped out.

anyway guys thanks for the help. have a good night!!
