New '72 Blazer 4x4 6.0L member - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mwhitefield · 02-20-2007, 10:16 AM

Hi,

New to this site. Want to say Hello to every one and use your wisdom.

I'm Trying to get this 6.0 to fit in my truck. Anyone have any motor crossmember mods they can share? How bout exhaust. Any one able to get manifolds or headers in without cutting anything ? How about the gas tank. I converted mine to the new intank fuel pump but know I can't find a sending unit that will work with the twist lock (original) opening. I was thinking about just modifing my old sending unit/pickup tube?

Thats a lot to throw out for my first post. I'm kinda in a hurry. I thought (bad Idea) I had it all figured out until it was time to install and the motor wouldn't fit between the crossmembers.

Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks
Mike

The reason animal rights activists are more passionate about fur than leather is because it's safer to harrass rich women than bikers...
