Re: Diesel to gas conversion

tore in to this pig the other day found the problem, all the torque converter bolts had backed out, threw one through the inspection cover, and all flex plate bolts were sheared off. So I'm going to use the 327(it has trick flow heads twisted wedge heads) that I have for my 63 straight axle Chevy II, just going to swap the cam for a smaller one and use it. The Th 400 will get sent in for a rebuild and shift kit. I do not think you could pay me to keep a oil burner in this burb. This is a TOY used for mud runs and trail runs, the 6.2 is WAY to heavy and the "little" 327 will smoke it in the power department.
