250 engine on s10 frame in a 49 pickup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

has anyone put a 235 or a 250 inline 6 on the s10 frame 49 pickup? i am sure i will have to fab the motor mounts, but wondering about clearance issues.

I got done mocking one up.

It's a 1/2 inch from the firewall and there's a 1 1/4 gap in between the radiator and water pump shaft.

looks good, i'm going for it. was there any complications i should be aware of?

ADchevys · 03-30-2015, 02:31 PM

the upper control arm will be tight to get out.

b.sharp · 03-30-2015, 03:52 PM

looking at the last photo you posted, it looks like the motor is mounted very low. Is there some reason for that?

ADchevys · 03-30-2015, 03:56 PM

That's where it fit in the frame the best, and I didn't want a trans tunel.

chincha805 · 03-30-2015, 08:24 PM

are you going to be able to get the oil filter off ?

ADchevys · 03-30-2015, 08:46 PM

Yes plenty of room for filter and fuel pump.
