Re: Dumptruck Dolly
After the V8 engine crossmember was in, I removed the 6cyl transmission mount and put in the V8 crossmember.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
I used the 2 post lift to handle the drop in procedure. Here’s my brother, Terry, on the left and friend, Randy, on the right tackling the motor mount bolt. It gave us a little trouble, but soon complied.
The next photo shows my son, Trevor, finishing up the header bolts. The measurements from the K20 onto the “K30” went well. My crossmembers we’re located like factory. Yes!! |

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
I am trying to do something everyday on the truck...My days are packed with family stuff, BBQing some onion burgers and chicken legs, plus I had to diagnose an overheating issue on my CRX. Turns out it is a coolant temperature switch that activates the fans. Order the part tomorrow, replace on Tuesday...Anyway, I scavenged the shock mounts from the Blue Beast, repaired the metal where I torched it too much, painted the mounts, plus the shocks and applied new hardware. Oh yeah, and I cleaned up the starter, painted it and secured it on the 350. It wasn’t glorious, but this is the stuff that has to happen and maybe isn’t covered too much in these swaps.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Nice work! Amazing how all the little things add up time wise.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Thanks...and knowing I won’t have a regret regarding, ie painting the shocks, sure does feel good. Having my son around watching and helping is fun, and hopefully some good things are passed on to him regarding even the “small things”.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Dropped in the distributor, ran the plug wires and fastened it with an old project’s fancy hardware.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Side view...for some reason I’m still thinking about orange valve covers.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Waiting for parts for the motor. I decided to tackle the 3rd member swap...Dolly’s rearend ratio is 5.14...the front axle ratio is 4.55. The donor’s rear axle is the same floater style as the dually.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Cleaned up the mating surfaces, put on a high quality gasket sealer, and wrestled up the 4.55 3rd member into place, and put the floating axles back in...Yes!
