Motor swap
3 Attachment(s)
I’m going to post up the progress of the engine swap in my 72 C20. It might not be exciting but it will be cool to look back on.
Started with a tired, stock 350. After getting it out, I sprayed the engine compartment with EZ OFF and power washed it. |

Re: Motor swap
That is going to look good! Did you get a good deal on the engine? Too bad they dont sell big blocks like that.

Holley 6210 spread bore is a great carb for those motors.

More progress today. I fixed a leak at the shifter shaft and changed the transmission filter today. I also installed a 2500 stall converter.

I’ve made great progress today. I have spent a lot of time just piddling around with little things. I want it to be right when it’s done. It doesn’t have to be perfect and i don’t ever expect it to be but i want it to be RIGHT.
The motor is in its new home. The bellhousing and motor mounts are fastened. I went with Doug’s tri-y headers. Today was the first time they had been out of the plastic. They are a thing of beauty. I had considered going a cheaper route but as I said above. I want it to be right. I am happy. |
