Is that a Caddy engine? Sure it not any Chevy engine.

Sweet! I picked up a Gen VI 454 (long block, no factory EFI) for mine. I am going to put an old school GM TBI as they are cheap, reliable and easy to fix and get parts for. Scored a serpentine belt setup off EBay for it (gotta clean it up).

Originally I voted new or rebuilt 6.5 but changed to used gasser. Myself, I have picked up a Gen VI 454 big block Chevy that will replace the 6.2L. I am going to use an old school GM TBI system as they are dead simple, reliable and very easy to get parts for. It will have way more HP than a...

So do you have a serpentine belt setup or V belt? Looking at the two pulleys, I would say serpentine. If so, do you have the correct water pump, as they are reverse rotation. Also serpentine belt is not stock for any CUCV series trucks.

Sweet, I am using the 12v, 120amp, 4s version.

I replaced mine with a Fluidamper unit, just for safety. As it was, my low mileage (15K) engine showed that the rubber had started to crack and split out of the balancer. From the front it looked fine. M1010 balancer Here is one off another project that when the pulley was on, it looked...

I have thought about the same idea of a tensioner but it seems that I recalled many years back reading that V belts do not like to have "backwards" pressure on the belt as they were not designed for that direction of tension. I agree with the belt strum at idle. LOL Makes me want to bump the...

That is coming out great! What are you using for a BMS?

Exactly what Marcus is saying. Half the volts, double the current. Upsize your starter, battery and ground cables. I actually bought 2/0 for when I redo mine.

Never seen the CUCV II ambulance before. I really wish those were around (this is likely promo and was never built). The later ones were dual rear wheel and wider body but I really like this version.

Sounds like you already made your decision regardless of what other people are saying. Go buy them and be happy. If you're not happy, well you were warned.

Got the rest of the box stripped down.

I recently ran into a run/die/no start issue and it was the fuel shutoff solenoid. Replaced it and running again.

Sweet. Welcome to the M1010 club!

Already removed the heater and pass side bench a couple weeks back and started removing wall panels in the M1010 this past weekend. One wall and roof to go.

Sweet!

Yep, that looks good. I haven't done a slave setup but all of my mechanical clutch setups had a return spring.

If you are lucky. It could wear the area on the fork. Been there, seen that.
