I pulled the smallblock mounts off my 350 and bolted them on my 6.2. My 4wd crossmember contacted the oil pan though, I'm not sure about the 2wd.

Which stands did you use? BB or SB?

Re: Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel
 

I didn't know there was different stands. For what its worth my truck came with a smallbock. But the 6.2's and 6.5's are a fuzz bigger than a big block. Maybe the bigblock stands would eliminate the oilpan clearance issue.

Well life goes on and my now 16 year old with a driver license wants this truck operational again. So ive sold the th400 got a 700r4, detuned it a bit and picked up a goodwrench 6.5 with 65k on it. Installed serp set with 2000 water pump and spin on clutch, fluidamper, billet crank pulley, and all the 6.5 turbo stuff. Got new wheels and tires, hooking up dual tank electronics, redoing lowback blazer buckets in black/white houndstooth, and installing 2023 tahoe jump seat that will be done in matching houndstooth. May put the tilt in it thats been on the shelf ffor decades.

Couple pics. Didnt take many of tear down and engine install. Pic with kiddo under it is tear down, motor installed is “new” goodwrench motor, and front clip and bumper are just resting in place to keep it out of weather. Hopping for some local cars and coffee this summer with my son. He can drive this and ill mob the chevelle.
