I know the feeling, sick again and mass OT are keeping me from my project.

The Allison will clear without lifting the cab, but you will need to use a high hump cover, as the low one will not work, I raised my cab and body 2" and modified my core support to enable the use of the 2003 radiator and coolers, take a look at page 4 post#78 those photos are before I lifted my cab

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
Nice truck! What issues did you have with the DIY4x crossmember? I am putting the same motor in my 67 K2500 and was hoping to use the DIY crossmember. I will fab my own if need be.

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
The issue you will find with the DIY4X cross member is that when using it with the 8.1, the oil pan will hit because the center piece needs to be dropped slightly more coming off the mounts, what I did was lower the engine into the frame without the center piece, (still attached to the hoist mind you) placed it gingerly onto the mounts lining up the bolt holes, and made a cardboard template out of an old box lid, when I was satisfied with the clearance, I cut two pieces out of 1/4" steel plate plus some gussets and welded them to the cross member mounting plates, it will now clear nicely and is removable as well, hope this helps.

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
I need to check the forum more often as well. I haven't made as much progress as I hoped. The new fuel tank is now ready to install with an Airtex fuel pump installed. I just need a body shop who can do the gas filler doors. In the next couple of weeks I will remove the bed and start the swap, starting from the tank in the rear and moving forward to the engine.
I had not seen the DIY crossmember. WOW! It looks excellent. I was planning to use the Off Road Design (ORD) crossmember. Now I will have to rethink that.

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
It has been a little while since I last posted any progress, so here is a mini update, I took a week off from work and pulled the cab, fenders, doors and hood off and began final body work and prep for paint, I put another two coats of epoxy primer over the bodywork, I let that dry, and sanded with 180 grit and then applied 2 coats of Evercoat featherfill G2, I will block sand that tomorrow with 400-600 grit and hopefully prepare for paint, you might notice that I have decided to go ahead with the upper and lower trim molding, I am going to paint it Hugger Orange and White, here are a few pics of the progress

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
Thanks Swamp Rat, I am learning as I go too, for me body work has been the hardest part of this project so far, I have learned so much from others on this website, it is a wonderful resource for information on so many things, I am glad I joined.

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
Thanks Swamp Rat, I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's not an oncoming train

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
Rusty,
Your truck is going to be beautiful. Love the two tone paint! I've made progress on mine, with the engine/transmission/transfer case all installed. Transmission is hooked up and I am about start installing the ECM and wiring. I have a question. What did you use for exhaust manifolds? I saw Larry's recommendation to use 70's era big block manifolds. I haven't been able to find any so I tried a pair of new supposedly factory spec reproductions ( made in China). They are poorly made and don't come close to fitting. Now I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Re: Project Lazarus bringing a 72 SWB K10 back to life
Merry Christmas Ed, the exhaust manifolds I used are indeed mid 70's the casting numbers are as follows RH or passenger side 353030 KY and LH or drivers side 3994045N The one thing I did do was relocate the LH knock sensor to stay away from the heat, there was a boss that I re-drilled and tapped to fit the sensor, you can see what I mean in these pictures
