1967 C/20 4x4 3 on the tree 292 project

Here there I was trying to figure out if taking out the 292 a 3 speed out of the 3/4 4x4 and putting in a 1990 350 5.7 and tranny out of a body beaten scottsdale. Will that swap even work. I plan on re-wiring the truck and a under bed fuel tank. I plan to make this a frame off restoration. and using this truck as a daily driver.

Yes,you can do that. You'll need all the wiring and ECM. The '90 had an electronic speedo so that will need to be dealt with.
Just a note...get used to calling your truck a K/20. That's what Chevy called the 3/4t 4wd.

Just FYI, I don't believe that's a 292 engine. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but I can't see the bypass hose that only 292s had. Likely it's a 250 that's been swapped in.

i could be wrong but it looks like you've got power steering? if so you could cover some of the cost of the swap(if u arnt keeping motor) as the power steering set ups for sixes are hard to come by and many people would love to get their hands on it.

Thanks for the Info guys. as far as the drive shafts, will i most likely have to get custom ones or will they be able to stay. as i hear that if a manual is changed to a auto in some cases it would have to swapped?

Does the motor have tall push rod covers on the pass side or short covers ? big ones 292, short ones 250 !

If your interested in starting a build thread there is a 4X4 projects and builds section. It looks like it would be a great build to follow.

It's hard to say on the driveshafts since that combo isn't from these trucks. It's not a big deal or real expensive if shafts do need altered.

How about posting some pictures here...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=441713

OK what about swapping bodys put the 67 body and box on a 1990 frame it would make everything on the truck updated there both longbox single cab so is that possible
