Talking Pics of l6 to v8 swap.

Here's pics of my current project. Swaping a 400 small block and a 700r4 in place of a 250L6 and a 350th. everything is getting detailed and paint. Even replaced heater core. The bus is the doner for the engine and radiator. I'll post more pics in a couple of weeks when I get to work on it again.
I hope it runs good when done.

Looking good so far. I would have loved to have the bus to fix up.

Re: Pics of l6 to v8 swap.

That's a nice clean looking truck, and that 'new' motor looks good too.

I'm always a little sad to see the inlines go, but I might be a little biased.

Re: Pics of l6 to v8 swap.

This truck looks better in the pics than it is. The body is rusted pretty bad. But my goal is to have a truck that looks like it just rolled off the farm before spanking your honda. The engine is pretty mild as far as I know. Loads of torque though. When I bought the bus I drove it to cleveland tn. Real near to the cruise in site mentioned here. Just before parking it we realized that it had a manual valve body in the th400 that was behind it. I had been running around in third gear the whole time. I was amazed that it drove around just like you would expect a big bus would if you were shifting. 700r4 Tranny is a stock rebuild with TCI lock up kit. A manual lockup will be mounted on the dash.3:73's in a 12 bolt posi out back. The engine will be getting Hooker long tubes (ceramic coated), aluminum under drive pulleys, K&N filter in a B&M mega scoop, Edelbrock 750, and an Edelbrock performer intake. 882 heads. I am sure there is more that I'm foregtting. I will also be adding a 1-ton sway bar soon. I also stole the hydra boost off the van. If any one has any input on how I should go about installing the hydraboost I would love to hear. Thanks for the complements that's why I do what I do.
