Engine Transplant Complete, She Lives!
Well, I finally got my new engine over to my house and dropped her in, got all of it hooked up, cranked it, as soon as gas made it to the engine she fired straight up and purred like a kitten! It feels so good to hear the truck run!
All that's left to do is switch the linkage that hooks to the manifolds from my old engine to this one. This engine came from a truck with a cable linkage and mine has a metal rod linkage. Looks to be easy enough and I'll get on that as soon as I get back from my "treasure hunt" tomorrow. I got a line on a guy that supposedly has a shed completely filled with parts for our trucks, everything from fenders to gauge clusters. He used to restore the trucks 10 years ago and said that everything he collected and has, has been in storage the last ten years ago. Said he doesn't remember 90% of the stuff he has and that if he doesn't just give it to us free, he'll sell it super cheap. So I'm hoping to come home with some goodies as I'm going over there with cash and a trailer at 10 tomorrow morning. Here's a video of right after I fired her up!
