Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
How is your truck coming along? No updates since last year.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Well... Due to being sick and then changing jobs, I've only been able to work on the old girl maybe one weekend since the last update. I was getting ready to get working on it when the cam decided to take itself out on my dad's truck. So I've been working on that, while it was at my shop, he decided to buy the seats I have in my '67. Once I get the seats mounted in that I can get his out of my shop and get back on mine. I'll tell you, I'm getting tired of working other peoples stuff while mine just waits.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Have some projects for others as well myself. An injury had halted everything. Now trying to get the others done while still keeping my project going forward. I know how it can add to frustration.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Well after working on a various other projects and what not. I am finally getting back on this project. Between the last post and now, I got a 2002 Silverado 1500HD with a 6.0 LS, 4L85E, NP246. Just got done striping that out, selling all my SBC stuff and parts I don't need off of the Silverado. Next step on the truck will be fixing issues with the suspension. and then building mounts for the new LS drivetrain. More progress pictures coming soon!

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
So after having a ton of time off from this project. I decided to cut the firewall out to mount the engine back as far as I can. Got the engine roughly mounted in.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
So the previous post was pictures taken before I bought a parts truck, 2002 Chevy 1500HD, 6.0, 4L80E, NP264. Since I have the LS now to put in the truck, I sold the 383 and all the work that I did to get it mounted and what not I decided to change my idea. I am giving myself more leg room, so I cut the floor at the transition to the firewall and cut it away from the kick panel. Then bent it down to about an inch from the frame. One the passenger side I made up a 2" spacer piece and modified the floor brace to fit the new firewall.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Moved to the driver side this past weekend. On this side I made up a 3" spacer and bent the floor down to about an 3/4 of an inch from the frame. The two black bars you see is to keep alignment of the inner cab structure for the steering wheel and brake set up. I broke the welds to make it easier to remove from the old firewall. So now we are up to date on the build.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
I did sell the seats from the earlier post to my dad, and put those in his 1965 C10. Those turned out pretty good in that truck. I am considering putting the rear seat out of the 2002 Crew Cab Silverado that I have. It is a pretty comfortable seat and is more of a bench style. I'll have to modify the floor to make it work so I am still thinking it over.
