Re: 1976 CCSB Duramax Project #trucknamedsue

and you used truck parts? my lb7 shrouds makes the fan offset from center on the cooling stack. about 1/2" IIRC.

In a stock GM truck, the engine is offset to the passenger side, and the cooling stack is centered. So when I centered my engine, I had to offset the cooling stack.

I'm wondering if the LBZ rad is offset from center, along with the engine- making all the components centered up. I'll have to measure some LBZ parts I have.

very interesting.

I hear you on using stock d-max parts. I plan to tow with mine as well, hence the gooseneck. Everyone I've talked to said the LB7 parts should be fine with a proper cold air intake as that was the pitfall of the LLYs.

With LBZ cooling stack and no EGR(assuming you'll delete), you should have more than enough cooling. I'd only look at using the LML trans cooler.
