Removed the engine and trans today on the 1987 GMC V2500
My son and I removed the 350 engine and Turbo 350 trans today from the 1987 GMC. It was kind of tight as I am limited on shop space right now so I had to put dollies under the engine hoist so I could move the lift sideways, it worked good. As I had removed the front differential and springs I was able to removed the trans and transfer case out the front in one piece strapped to my jack . Note: I had supported the belhousing with the engine lift until I removed the cross member then lowered both the jack and lift until the trans rested on the jack. This actually worked pretty well.
The engine will go in the 1986 Chevy 4x4 I bought last week. I am not sure if I want to go with the turbo 350 or the 700R4 that is in the 1986. Both have been rebuilt but the 700R4 was more recent. The 86 is a 1/2 ton but will be 3/4 ton when I am done. Now I have to remove the bad engine and good 700R4 from the 1986. As it is about 90+ degrees here in Virginia it is not too fun working in this heat. Last edited by Buick455; 08-21-2010 at 09:17 PM. |
