Re: 60 series to 1/2 ton engine swap
Quote:
I'm pretty well sure that he is attempting to put it together with parts and pieces that he has there and can use. Lets not confuse the issue anymore in this case with what we would do as he didn't ask what we would do. Lets help him put his truck together with the parts he has the way he plans and call it a day. The simple solution in that truck with parts he has is run the 283, 55/59 V8 bellhousing, SM-420 with correct yoke (that can be swapped) for the 1/2 ton driveshaft. I'm thinking that he does have all of those parts somewhere in the collection of parts trucks and once he figures out what parts out of what donors he can put the truck together. He has lots of stuff to work with but little knowledge or experience. Remember, this isn't going to be the way most of us would do it, it is going to be the way that he can do it it with what he has on hand to work with.
