Re: 72 k20

Well nearly 4 months later and I’ve got some updates... the build on my truck has taken an unforeseen turn. I sold it!...
Just kidding!!! I actually parted out a ‘89 1 ton cab and chassis truck. I kept the 3:73 Dana 60F and 14 bolt...*edit, don’t always believe the spid codes, they are 4:11 axles... they are going to get a new life in my K20. The rear is going to get converted to the standard srw width with late model 01+ factory rear disks. Not much info on this swap on the net so I do a how-to write up with pictures when the time comes. I’ve got two late model AAM 10.5” 14 bolts stashed away to rob parts from. It’s gonna take some machine work but I will get it to work. The front 60 will get the srw treatment and a little freshening up, hub bearings and brakes gone thru.
The truck is running pretty good still. Not really a whole lot to add other than I put the door panels on and have done some minor tinkering here and there, nothing major.
I tore the 6.0 down back in July, it needed some bottom end work. It had a couple of spun rod bearings but the cylinders are perfect. I’ve got it back from the machine shop, but it’s awaiting me to divert some money to putting it together. My plan is to cam it with a GPI vvt SS1, goal is 500+ at the flywheel which should be very doable. I’ll add a few pictures in a bit.
