I have not set the cab on top with the cummins yet, I did do several quick measurements and a lot of pics for reference. Also a 3inch Body lift is going back on the truck. If I can make that less, I will try, but tire clearance will be a bigger issue. I will be running 35" tires for sure.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Just a pet peeve of mine, make sure if the body lift is big enough, lift the bumpers!! Nice truck btw, looks great. I may put a 12V in my 75.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Bumpers always go with the body when I do it. The very first picture in this build thread has a 3" body lift already. It is going back into the truck again.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
I still to this day need to finish the motor mounts and supports and build a new engine xmember. I went ahead and finished welding the mounts and got to sandblasting / cleaning some parts to prepare for paint.
The glass beads in the enclosed sandblast cabinet does a real nice job. Then I started cleaning up the oil pan. I wanted to do this off the engine because I thought it was pretty rusty. Turns out it wasn't that bad. Took it outside to sandblast. It would have fit in my cabinet, but glassbeads are not as good on heavy rust. I use cheap sand in the pressure pot outside for heavy rust. I didn't blast it perfectly clean as a bit of rust works better POR15. Then started the process.... Powerwash after marine clean and metal prep. Ready or not it's time for paint. The prep for POR15 is a very long process. I sure hope it is worth it in the end. 2 coats of Gloss POR15. Lots more to come.....

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Thanks. I have lots more for you guys too see. This is going to be a very Long build. My guess is 3 ~ 4 years. I have only been at it 2 years and I don't feel like I'm half finished yet.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
So up to this point I have been pretty happy with the POR15 i've used so far. My biggest problem that I have been struggling with is that I want this old Chevy to last a long time, but I want to drive it too. This is something that can't be done in Ontario. All nice rides are put away 6~8months a year or they rot. I worked hard to keep that old Dodge clean but after 15 years with all the salt/sand on these roads, it is just a killer.
I decided to make another POR order. it looks good on all the frame bits and pieces so I did some more research on there High heat Manifold and Engine paints. I went for a six pack of POR15 Gloss black and a can of there Factory Manifold Grey for the turbo and exhaust. I was liking the red theme and decided I would also get a can of there "Chev Red". It was only $80 for all that and shipped to the door in 3 days. It is a little $$ but if it lasts it is a small price to pay. Time will tell?

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Started cleaning up the injection pump. I mounted it on my cheap engine stand and it worked great. It also worked great for the trans. They are very handy. I wish I had one to hold the Cummins. I may try to build myself one. I can see me using it.
Brake cleaner and wire wheel /brush worked good. My goal was just to make it look good painted. Still stock...for now.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
So I went ahead and checked out the POR15 "CHEV RED"
I gotta be honest, the camera makes it like "pinkish" It does look better in person and better outside than in the garage. It is suppose to darken up also after some heat curing. I also did the Engine adapter. But Black was the better choice. I am not going for show quality by any means. I just want clean, and easy to clean.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
This week I got the rear springs and mounts etc. all pulled and cleaned up and painted. Starting getting most of that put back together. Today I picked up some metal at the Barrie Metal Superstore and this weekend hopefully will get my engine xmember built and installed. It is finally at a point in the build when things start coming together. I just wish there was more time to spend on it. ( and money hehe ) I post some more pictures after the progress.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Been really hot and also a busy week! I did manage to get my engine xmember all cut up, mocked up and now it is ready for finish welding. Hopefully get it all completed this weekend. I have been taken lots of pictures but only have one to share for now until I get them uploaded.
Hopefully have much more to share this weekend!

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
So I picked up some more metal at the super store.
3/16" 3"angle, flat and 2X3 tube. Started out with the angle on the bottom side of the frame. Now this setup is going to be somewhat different from others I have seen. I wanted more support than just being bolted, or welded on the inside of the frame. I figure if the frame is sandwiched between the engine mounts and the removable xmember, it should be pretty strong. So before I pulled the engine the last time, I made a cardboard template to give me the distance between the frame rails, oil pan, and front axle. I started off with the 2X3 tube 36" long. I made a center mark and measured off the template. I was going to use the saw at work but, I went ahead and did it by hand. Cut out the notches and then bent it up to fit my template. I then used a strap to hold it as it had some spring to it so I could tack weld it. 4 tack welds held it firmly enough for the next part of the process.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
I also cut the tops off so they would be flush with the angle iron already temporary bolted to the frame. I used my floor jack and a block of wood to hold it up into position.
Tack welded that into place after several checks with a tape measure. Then drilled all my holes. There will be 20, Grade 8, 3/8" 1 1/4" bolts holding the engine mounts and xmember onto the frame. ( 10 per side ) Pulled it off for final welding.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Engine crossmember looks good, didn't happen to make an extra one? I need to fab up one myself.

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Nice work on your engine cross member! That's how I decided to do the one in my 76. We'll be getting our loaner engine back in a few weeks and then it's going in the 76. Keep up the great work!

I hope you are able to start working on your 76 again. I really enjoyed following your thread on that one. Hopefully this heat wave crap will let up and I can get more work done in the garage. I really can't wait to get this truck into a roller and get the engine fired up!

Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build
Looks like the weather has cooled down some for this weekend. Hopefully means more work down on all our trucks!
I picked up some Grade 8 hardware at bolts plus for my engine cross member. Question for you all, I have allot of new hardware to buy for this project obviously. Is this a reasonable price I paid or is there some better place to pick up large orders?
