Re: Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

Ok so people have aparantly found some money they couldnt spend on vacation but could on ebay because I got really busy again, and this project took a back seat. The engine has been "sitting" in its new home for about 2 weeks or so now. I found the factory small block towers and small block mounts were not going to work. I swiped a pair of towers and mounts from a 73-87 truck and those are really close. I have to hack up the frame to make the engine sit down in the cradle but f'it I'm going to weld the towers to the frame and x-member anyways. I figure if this doesnt work out I'm going to have a fit and part the truck out. With the procedes from that I can put a pretty nice big block in my chevelle. Anyways this is where I'm at and just as soon as things start to go my way again I'm sure I'll put a smile back on. Looks kinda neat sitting there tho.
