Re: What did you get done-01/28
Made a Junk Run to the local Pick-N-Pull. Posted pics of my scores here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...highlight=junk
Friday, my kid birthday gifted me a engine stand for the project 350 in the garage. Picked that up and mounted the engine to it. Ate some awesome ribeye on Friday and some deadly cake. - Dave

Re: What did you get done-01/28
Saturday and Sunday I removed the air pump(smog crap) from the 85. I also removed the egr valve and blocked it off. Removed the factory thermostat housing and installed a new thermostat and chrome thermostat housing (hope it seals). Still need to replace the vacuum advance(Superbowl weekend). Hoping to pep up the motor some. Headers come later.

The engine he sent was a bit warmed up with marine gofast parts, a four plunger mechanical injection pump and who knows what else. We tried to go the center mount turbo route but there is not enough clearance for that. Had to toy around with where to place the vacuum pump too. Even the banks side mount turbo that was originally on the 6.2L was one tight mofo with the late model serpentine belt. It ran like a freight train and smoked like one too. It ran like an early Dirtymax, which is pretty good for a 6.5L. Be sure to leave yourself some room for the A/C box where the exhaust pipe runs by it and glue the heck out of the valve covers. I didn't realize the diesel valve covers were glued on until I started this project. Removing the valve covers is a PITA! Especially on the passengers side. Yeah, they leaked within the first 10 minutes of running.

Re: What did you get done-01/28
Painted the inside of the cab and the dash of the truck. Should be able to order carpet, headliner, and dash pad ($$) soon and dye panels and trim to match. Not sure what I'm going to do about the blue seatbelts...

Re: What did you get done-01/28
I cut out both kick panels, front pillars, rockers, pass side floor along kick panel, rear pass pillar, pass cab corner..
finished everything on the passenger side except for the rocker, front pillar, and cab corner. pretty exciting!
