    Running an Engine outside the vehicle

    6-2-diesel by Burban posted Feb 8, 2019 at 2:23 PMSo after a year or more of looking, I finally found a 6.2 for cheap. It was from a K30 that had been running but was let sat for a year, and then they couldn't start it, so they yanked it and put in a 350. So before I stick it in the truck, I...

    How Tall is a 6.2

    Don't laugh here, I'm trying to figure out if I can fit one in the back of my little Honda, for transportation NOT running it there. There's a guy getting rid of one, but he's about 300 miles away. I don't have access to a truck easy, and I'm trying to figure if I can lay one in the back of my...

    Buick V6 (LX7?) into a C10 Burban?

    I've got a buddy who is scrapping his Buick Terraza minivan. Seems unlikely as it's FWD and transverse mounted, but it did also make it's way into the Monte Carlo. Is there anyway in heck this would bolt up to a 700R4, or would it require much mucking about? Can't seem to find much info on...

    6.2 Easy?

    I've got a line on a 6.2 from an 83 C10 w/ all the accessories. My '83 C10 has a 700R4 the vehicle it came from had a 700R4 is this gonna be a bolt in? Are the torque converters different, are there different shift points in the trans? Aside from that I'm guessing, I probably have to figure out...

    Diesel Fuel Filter, any difference?

    When I change over my carb, I plan to stick an inline fuel filter on the line. I have some spare inline filters for my Mercedes diesel, is there any issue with using one of these?

    Can You Bump a 700R4?

    Not looking to start it, just bump the engine over. I know the 700R4 has a lockup converter, is there a way to trigger the lockup, so you can bump the engine?

    What Are These?

    What are these weird pipes for in my carbureted engine? There's one per cylinder, not exactly in line with the plugs, and they go to a log, that then dissappears into the vacuum rats nest.

    Bottom Fan Shroud

    I have an '83 C10 with a 350 and 700R4, the fan shroud is in two pieces. I unbolted the top part, lifted it out, and removed the radiator, but the bottom shroud doesn't want to come loose, is it bolted in somewhere?

    Stuck Block (SBC 350 '83)

    Let me preface this by saying, I'm not looking to build a bogger, rock crawler, or any kind of performance machine, I just want to get this old sucker running again, for fun, and maybe occasional trips to the lumber store. This is a carbureted '83 350 with a Q-Jet, that mice nested in, and...

    Proper (Short Distance) Towing?

    I have an '83 C10 Suburban, that doesn't seem to have any hooks or eyes at the front. It's just got a rubber skirt. I want to know the best place to hook the tow rope, I'm just dragging it from the yard to the slab in front of the garage and back, maybe about 25 yards in a straight line...

    Stall Speed for Torque Converter '83 700R4

    It's a 2WD 1/2 ton (C10 Suburban) w/ a 350 V8. I'm wanting to put a diesel in, and I have heard different versions of what the stock stall speed is, everywhere from 1200 - 1800rpm. Did they put different converters in for the 6.2 DD?

    Min Spec. Diesel

    What's the smallest diesel you've ever seen in a square body? I see people talking about 3 cyl tractor conversions and stuff, but I'm just looking for opinions.

    Fenders or Front Clip

    I got a lot of work to do on mine, it's been sitting in a shed for several years now. It started when something decided to nest in the carb, and stopped me turning it over every few weeks. Now the engine won't even turn over, and the carb is a mess. I'm going to do a lot of work on it, carb...
