Re: 73 2wd Jimmy "C514"

Its been a while but I have been busy. Here is a vid of the engine installed and running. There is some lifter clatter on the pass side that I'm gonna have to address.


The install uses the factory stands from the Jimmy and Cadillac 425 mounts from a 78 era deville. The radiator is an 2 x 17 x 34 aluminum unit from a post 88 truck. I used 2" square aluminum tube on top and bottom of the radiator and it fits nearly perfectly. Could cut down one tube to 1 3/4 or so to make it perfect but I didn't. As is the fins are exposed perfectly in the opening and the fan doesn't hit so I'm happy. No issues at idle at least.
