Pulled the diesel 6.2 today . Will install 454 by the weekend. Will post some photos tomorrow. Have alot of 6.2 engine parts for sale cheap. Motor ran great - had wiring problems. Should be a easy swap . Stay tuned

Shift points are adjusted with vacuum modulator on tranny. I am not going to mess with that till after i have it running - if any adjustments are needed it is very simple to do with allen wrench. I am using a heavy duty tci towing converter - 6 lug - designed for a 1 ton chevy 4x4 1990 model with a 454 engine and 4.56 gears. Stock converter may or maynot work - i am putting a new one in and a new front pump seal - dont want to have to tear it down again .

Wow, very nice. Not just talking about it, doing it. Looks like you used the stock motor mount location. Is it the same with a small block conversion? Thanks for the info.

It all bolts right in . The small block and big block mount buckets are a little different......will bolt in but 454 sits about an inch higher with small block buckets. Will post some more photos this weekend

I think it looks great. I really like the intake, I am considering purchsing the same one from Summit. The 454 looks great, I am doing the conversion now on a m1009.

PWB, That's an interesting conversion. I infact may be doing exactly the opposite, because I have decided to sell my Crash Rescue truck and I haven't started the engine yet and it may have a problem with it. I'll know after this weekend. Will the accessories with their brackets fit back and forth from the 454 to the 6.2 diesel? I'd like to keep the truck original, but selling a truck with a dead engine will probably hurt it's sale price and I have a couple of good 6.2's laying around.
