84 K20 "Ethel" Not an Sbc/NV4500/241C
- Thread starter sreidmx
- Start date
Semi restoration of a 1984 K20 pickup.
5.3 LS, nv4500, np241c.
Since someone, who I won't name didn't answer my question,
I guess a diesel has a different mount than a sbc?? The existing mounts have a center hole and the new mounts are riveted in the middle.. I don't care if I have to drill new holes but I am concerned that the mounts are lower in a diesel?? Can anyone speak to this?
Thanks!

This is my k5. The lower bolt hole appears to be just as low.

Good to know. I was thinking you couldn't use those strut rod with those mounts for some reason.
Of course these are all sorts of opinions about those rods in the first place. Do the 6.2s use them?

Unsure but the k30 I have now doesn't have em. You'd think a 1 ton would be equipped.

Did some reading and I see the diesels do.
Good to know as well.

Might actually make some rods for mine..
All that I can tell you is that I once pulled a diesel and swapped a SB in without changing mounts.
But I will add more B.S. with the fact that my son's '72 , we couldn't use the strut rod plates with the DIY4X crossmember and mounts. '72 if course being different...

I agree. The factory puts them for a reason. Can't hurt.
The factory also put auto locking hubs. 
Good to know did not have bars but save plates when did DIY4X mounts.
Any know if K5 87 model had then originally?
Ok so... f!ck this pedal bullsh!t...
Wait, what? Nooooooooooooo
LOL! First you dump the 6.2 and now the manual trans? Better watch out for the torches and pitchforks. The three pedal mafia is coming for you...
He didn't say that he was dumping the manual trans, just took the pedals out..
