Re: 72 chevy modern swap
I was curious if anyone could help me out on finding a 6 bolt pattern np205. I know they are like gold and everyone that has one wants to hold on to it. If anyone could help me out on finding one I would appreciate it.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
Ha the hinged exhaust hangers made my day! I'm thinking it probably worked really well.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
Small modification to the frame, won't weld anything else in tell I no where the lines for the a/c are going. Got a good call yesterday, the specialty shop I work with called me and told me my engine would be here either this weekend or beginning of next week!

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
Pulled the harness off, and the manifolds but was taking them off and two of the bolts were snapped off. I managed to spin the one out, but the other may be a challenge. You guys have any ideas????

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
1) Weld a smaller bolt to it. Heat the whole thing up and squirt wd40 on it. Back it out slowly with half turn in. Half turn out.
2) drill it out, use an easy out to extract the bolt. Heat works well here too. 3) trade for a motor without broken bolts. Good luck and Merry Christmas Chris

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
Ive tried that on a couple 350s but never worried me because of them being cast iron. Ill give it a shot on the 6.0 and let ya no how it goes
Also curious on standalone harnesses, I will probably end up running electric fans, I pretty sure the factory temp sense stays, but what about the oil pressure??? And if so I need to fine a piece for down by the oil filter because mine had a engine oil cooler on it, but i wont be using that.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
there are a number of places that make block off or delete plates for the oil cooler ports. i think the GM number is 12577903
i dont know the secrets to the stand alone LSX stuff. if you want to use the OEM guage, you will just need to adapt a port into the oil galley for the OE spaghetti line that feeds the guage. if you are swapping to electronic guages, it will probably depend on if they interface with the computer or not. i am assuming the computer needs to see oil pressure to keep the fuel pump relay triggered, but that would depend on how you wired the fuel pump business too. |

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
I plan on keeping the original gauges in the truck, just was wondering if the computer needs to read the oil pressure.
Finally pulled the box off! and in the garage it goes.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
Cleaned up the frame and pulled the rear cross member out too. It needed some work so got it fixed. Going to get the fuel cell in as soon as I can.

Re: 72 chevy modern swap
If it looks like this inside it is, Chevy called it a No Spin, but its really just a Detroit Locker. Look inside the little openings.
