Default Re: Engine swap on 65 GMC 2500 305 V6

I’ve done this exact swap over in my 67 pickup, I don’t exactly remember what I did, but after looking at it just now and the other two engines I have in my shop (original 305 and truck 351c) - I have a plug, a stud and a bolt so must have just swapped over?! Of course, swapped oil pan, oil pump, oil filter housing, and clutch, since they were larger as well as swapping the timing cover housing to get the fan in correct location - just put all the pickup parts back on the truck engine. As for the carb, I swapped over to the Holley and luckily I had the power steering, so that and the motor mounts all swapped over fine. Can’t think of much else. Good luck
