Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Can't wait to see the dash swap! And the rest of the truck too. How many hours you think the dash is gonna take from start to finish? I am very seriously considering putting a newer dash in my suburban, but still am not quite sure. Also, not to be a dick, but if you're talking about a 97 Chevy engine, and not some other engine I have never heard of, it's called a Vortec, not a Vortex. It's just one of those things that bugs me that people say/type.

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Are those last pictures of you putting the airbox from the 97 into the 85? Would the 85 airbox not fit under the 97 dash, or did you do it for some other reason?
