    Marine 502 into 1984 GMC 2500 454

    Hey Brian, Welcome to the best forum for squares. I have messed with the 502 in a friends 71 Moute Carlo. loved that engine. IF....you get the block, I would STILL check the bottom tolerances, crank end play, use some plactigauge (.001-.003) the green one, to reaffirm that the mains and rods...

    It's a mess, and many of the wires will have to be cut and shortened, but waiting on lugs, lug crimper, etc, but everything works. Inverter gives me 120v, shore power is charging the battery, 12V and 120V panels are energized. More to do.

    Tightening down front yoke nut stops NP205 from turning

    https://www.offroaders.com/tech/Diagrams/np205.htm This is a good site to help you. I do see the mark on the dust shield, that is not right. Is there a gasket on the cover? Have you tried to use a thicker (or two) gasket on the cover to see if the binding stops? Just trouble shooting.

    Tightening down front yoke nut stops NP205 from turning

    https://www.offroaders.com/tech/Diagrams/np205.htm So what did you replace that is different than stock, besides the twin stick? Sounds like the input stack is to tall, and binds when tightened? Anyway this is a good site to study.

    Last solar panel up all the solar panel wiring is now inside the van. Here is also the battery that’s the heart of the whole situation. Just out of curiosity I measure the voltage off those three solar panels inside the shop and I was getting 90 V at 12.9 A.

    Heli coil work good, have literally installed thousands of them in my life as a machinist. If, however, the holes are to big, you can go with Keen-serts.

    I have found it is easier and faster to assemble the panels to the unistrut bars on the ground. I use the little spacers, (1/8 x 1 1/2 fb) to keep everything flat and square. These have a 13/32,.265 hole for the 1/4-20 as bolts. So bolt through the panel, through the spacer, into the unistrut...

    104* may have been very good with the stuff you have in the engine. Yes there will be more overlap, worse gas mileage, more emmisions....my kinda' engine. I have really enjoyed watching your build, being a born motorhead and machinist, engines and mechanical, I love that ---T.

    One more solar panel up, and I’ve got the air condition all secured and finished except for the wiring. Tuesday We went to Washougal, Washington to Panther RV and bought a Fiamma awning. Very nice, and it looks like it will be very easy to install.
