After Texas K5 meet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well guys, after seeing all the running K5's on Sunday I was re-inspired to get mine running. As soon as I got home I took the radiator and shroud off (in the dark) in preperation for the engine swap. The radiator was leaking so I dropped it off at a radiator shop on Monday to get flushed and patched. I'll probably need another one later on , but this should get me running. I'm hoping to do the swap on Saturday after Thanksgiving but it depends on the weather. I'll probably buy the starter and the harmonic balancer tomorow. After those two items, I should be good to go. I'll update with pics of the swap. Later. Mario.
