I just got my hands on a 350 small block and I want to put it in my m1008. Is it a drop in type of thing or is there any thing I need to change thanks for any info. What are running 6.2 worth once I get the new engine in I'm selling it. Runs fine
I know this is old but what did you use for motor mounts. Thinking on doing this or just getting the 6.5 optimzer. About the same cost I'm thinking for either of them
The one on the passenger side was 90 degrees it fit right back in the old hanger there. And I took it to work and ask if I could have some one fix the bend and my Manger was fine with that it was only 9 degrees off from 90.
I paid 240 shipped. I got the stock exit part number 36-5587 it's listed for the 305-400 small block 4wd. I took it to a few muffler shops but they said that they would have to put catalytic converters on it because that was required on 86 model year I didn't think 86 diesels had them so that's...
One way to put it. Massed produced product I can see how it happens tho. It's all done by automated tube benders we have them at my work. Just push a button when it's done then it drops in a bin then it goes to the next stage.
I just letting everyone know that the dual exhaust kit from lmc truck does fit the 6.2 diesel has I just installed one on my m1008 this weekend the only thing with the kit I got is the one tail pipe for.the driver side was not bent properly so I will have to have it fixed at the exhaust shop...
Well I got that thing out it was a pain. Got the block heater in I notice after I tight it still moves a little bit if you grab it is that normal. I started the truck and it ran for 35 mins. It's not leaking. Guess all is good.
I started to work on my truck tonight I tried using a screwdriver and it don't seem to budge. I started to indent the freeze plug. Any suggestions. I don't have a dent puller.
I hear ya. My wife just gave me the green light to restore my m1008 so I'm going to sand blast the body repaint it swap to a nv4500 and last but not least I'm getting a 6.5 turbo diesel
I wanted to change the axle gearing to 4.10 or 3.73 but it's cheaper to do the Trans swap for me. I have never messed with with axles before. I'm not real sure on the how to set the gear mesh and if you got to far you have to restart with a new crush sleeve
