    Heater Hose Routing

    Hi, figuring out the same things. The one heater hose goes to the radiator top. I had the other heater hose go to the intake with the previous engine, but is it possible to put that hose to the pump top?

    Does 33x12.50R15 fit at the rear of a 2wd C10 with stock suspension, stock 8x15 wheels

    Its garage season here, I have not yet swapped the tires. I installed the lift up front, ended up lifting 1,5 inches. Still not made up my mind on the 33's at the rear. One thing crossed my mind: are 33" BFG Mud Terrains risky for my GM 10 bolt 8.5 differential with 4.10 gears and POWERTRAX®...

    Collapsed upper radiator hose

    Just replacing my hoses. Do the normal spare part hoses come with a spring? My old lower hose is pretty soft, are the spare part hoses stiff enougn normally? Is spring needed if engine revs less than 5600?

    Quick and easy engine rear support when transmission is removed?

    I'm going to isntall the sbc engine now but the TH700 will be ready later. The rear of the engine needs support for a while. Would be nice to be able to move the truck so jack stand is not optimal. I havent measured whether a plank of wood bolted to trans bolts would fit and rest on the frame...

    Mechanical fuel pump return line

    How should I tell the difference? In my '85 truck there is a smaller metal line right below the fuel line and it was not connected to anything as my truck already had a swapped engine with mechanical pump that had only 2 connections, in and out.

    Engine mount, old or new?

    Things turned out so that the Anchors were not available. The cracked rear mount convinced me not to buy far east rubber, so I Installed Energy Suspension urethane inserts. I'll let you know how they are once the engine is in and snow and salt are gone from the streets.

    Mechanical fuel pump return line

    I'm in a process of swapping the engine. My previous engine and fuel pump did not use the return line. Actually I just found the line was open, sort of a breather for the tanks? Now I could either put a pump without a return and just plug the line, or put a pump with a return and connect it to...

    Steering box lash adjustment etc.

    Hi, I have the box (Saginaw 800) on the table, just replaced the pitman shaft seals, put the shaft back in and now I should adjust the bearing. Seems like the steering is 3,5 turns overall, so I centered the steering by counting the turns. Tightening the hex screw, the free play seems to go...

    Engine mount, old or new?

    I ordered OEM style Anchor mounts. Lets hope they are good.

    Engine mount, old or new?

    I have heard two opinions 1. Old OEM after 40 years is still better than new chinese 2. Replace them as the engine is out now. Its not about money. The new rubber ones available here cost 20-35$. Whats your opinion. (the small cracs are more visible in images than in real life)

    Th700 cooler line nuts & tools

    I cut a 1/2" line wrench in half. It was still not handy but doable.

    Th700 cooler line nuts & tools

    What tools & tricks have you used to reach the line ends at the transmission? Specially the lower line seems almost impossible, there is dipstick and governor housing on the way, no room to turn the 1/2 line wrench. I was thinking of cutting it in half to get more rotation? Other tricks?
