Default Re: Finding a V6

Greetings Hantke!

Its been awhile since I've posted anything here, Guess I haven't found anything to reply to that hasn't been covered one way or another. Regarding your swap from an inline 6 to the V-6 will also require that you change the frame mounts (pedestals) for the engine since they are different from inline 6 to V-6. You will probably have to scrounge a bone yard to find those (if there are any old GMC's still floating around in a bone yard), or if someone in the club has a parts truck sitting around, and you will also need to use the bell housing from the V-6, since it also is different from the inline 6 bell housing. I know about all of this because I did the same kind of engine swap on a 1963 Chevy truck back in 1984.
