    My first 6.2 swap thread

    Years ago I had a 1/2T Chevy 2wd with a 6.2. It would wear the belt(s) very thin and quickly, after many replacements from parts houses, I went to NAPA and was asked "will fit or recommended"? I was never asked that before , turns out that GM used a pully and belt with a slightly different...

    My first 6.2 swap thread

    Turbo 400 has it's own flex plate and needs proper T/C, TH350 and 700R4 share one flex plate and cannot use the same T/C as TH400. Did you make sure the flex plate is from an 84? They changed tooth count in 85! Both bolt up the same and look the same UNTIL you lay them one on top of the other...

    My first 6.2 swap thread

    The one in pic #2 (with round hole) I believe is for an EGR California engine with the top piece (whatever it is) missing. Use the other one with the straight divider front to back, supposedly it flows air better.

    My first 6.2 swap thread

    I had forgotten about this thread! Yeah time for a new rad, gonna be about $400 or so. The last 2 I bought have been the plastic/aluminum ones and haven't had a problem with either.

    My first 6.2 swap thread

    Answer for both is yes, order #2 and #25 from Hillbilly but before hooking them up get a spray can of auto transmission cooler flush and flush the oil cooler in the Rad and Hillbilly's lines. The last thing you want on a new engine is finding old contaminates in the cooler! All the alternator...

    My first 6.2 swap thread

    If the engine is locked up forget it, it's not worth rebuilding as every moving part will have damage. As far as a step by step R&I of the engine, look in the TM (maybe?) or buy a 'how to' book at Auto Zone or online that covers 84 Chevy pick ups .
