Re: '92 serp swap to '78

I don't recall any special requiements when swapping into an earlier year model. Just need to get the exciter wiring connected & make sure the power wire is the right gauge for the specific alternators output.

I upgraded to heavier gauge wire for my dually because the length was increased (relocated batt) & I swapped to the highest amp alt Oreillys had in stock.

Beyond that, don't forget the reverse rotation water pump & cooling fan.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
