NO MORE CRACKS are allowed in this thread!
Bummer man.. Well if you decide to not use the turbo setup lemme know I might be able to scrape cash together for it..
Well I have done a complete 180. I will be\ going BBC since my 6.2 was cracked and i really dont want to deal with it any more, I found a 402 motor I am going to rebuild with a set of closed chamber early 396/427 heads.
Do I need to change my cross member from diesel to BBC?
Besides my governor on my TH400 what else do I need to change in the transmission to go with my motor?
No issues with my hydro boost correct? also can I use my 6.2 power steering pump with my motor or do I need a different one?

Pump should be fine, hydro boost won't care what engine you run. You'll prolly want a higher stall torque converter. Not sure about the crossmember.
But you definitely want to gift me the serpentine setup.

lol, Ill gift it for you for some money.
How much?
Well, this went semi rebuild. I needed up putting a 5.3LM7 and 4l80W np241 Transfercase in my truck then it sat for a few years, projects seem to take forever. I now have an lq9 I want to replace the 5.3 with eventually. I plan to replace the interior with new/used good condition parts and new seat covers. All-new cab rubber to seal it up. I need to replace the fuel pump and replace my clutch fan with my Efans and a few ods and ends then brakes and it should be back on the road.

I like the simple support you made for the filter. I might steal that idea.
Few more pictures, I love my Jason Payne IOR dana 60 diff cover.
Good to see you still around

Thanks, I'm trying to get away from the toxic FB and come back to a better place mentally and online.
