Re: 69 K10 From the Field

Most of you already probably know all this stuff but thought it might be good information for reference. I pulled the 327 V8 motor out of the 68 K20 since the motor was bad. To replace with a 292 6 cylinder. There are a few items that are unique when switching from a V8 to inline 6 into a 4x4 truck. I will post the pictures of the different items in comparison as they go in.
  • crossmembers are different
  • shifter zbar are different
  • linkage to the carb is different
  • oil pressure line hookup is different
  • radiator hoses are different
  • fan shroud different I think, not sure on this one????
  • exhaust system

Picture 1 - shows the V8 crossmember
Picture 2 - shows the 292 6 cylinder crossmember
Picture 3 - shows zbar linkage , one on top is from V8, bottom one 292 6 cylinder
Picture 4 - 292 going in
Picture 5 - 292 in a bolted down
