Anyone need a diesel for an old Chev? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Poohbair · 10-30-2002, 02:41 PM

I have a diesel that I need to get rid of. It starts, runs, and drives but could probalby use an overhaul. It is an Isuzu 6BB1 inline 6cyl that is currenly in a 74 Chev 3/4 ton 4x4 and mated to a SM465 4spd tranny. If someone buys the motor you can also get all the adapers, eletcronics, motor mounts, fuel tanks, etc... that you need to put it in. Make me an offer or trade for ???

I am new to this forum and hope this is the place to post for sale stuff....

is that the same as the 6.2 that they used to use in the older trucks were are u at and what would u want for it

No, the 6.2 is a Chevy V8 design diesel. This is an Isuzu inline 6...so I guess it would be more like the Cummins that the Dodges have. I talked to the Isuzu diesel shop and he said that the motor was probably originally out of one of the Isuzu Box Trucks, you know the ones that are like 20 to 30 feet long. It is a torque monster. I believe it is a 5.4 liter motor. I am located in Washington State. The motor is still in the truck. I would like to sell it w/ the buyer pulling the motor, and make me an offer... and don't worry about insulting me! I know what these are selling for around the net (1000 to 3000), but being up here in washingotn I am not expecting to get anywhere close to that out of it.
I can email a pic of it if you want.

interesting... does the engine have chevy bolt pattern or have an adaptor plate of some kind at the bellhousing ?

Poohbair · 10-30-2002, 08:17 PM

Well, I haven't pulled the tranny out of it yet but it appears to be a modified Chevy bellhousing. I think that it also uses an Isuzu clutch, etc... It has custom motor mounts and a modified oil pan to clear the front axle. It is a very clean conversion.
The motor fills up the engine compartment, but it all fits. The only thing that doesn't fit is that it had to have dual electric fans mounted in front of the radiator because there is not room between the radiator and the motor for a standard crankshaft fan.
I tried to post a picture of it on here but the file size is too big I guess.
