6.2 Diesel swap
Hi Guys ,
I swapped my bike ( 1979 Yamaha XS 650 SE) for a 1986 Burb. just some question about a swap of the actual 6.2 Diesel engine it has now, I want to replace it by a stock gas 305 or 350 engine... First option : 1. I presume the 6.2 Diesel is a Chevy block , if I want to put a 350 engine in it , is it just a "bolt out / bolt on" operation ? 2. can I use the same converter ( 700R4 tranny ) ? Second option: Part my current 79 C10 ( Olds 350 gas engine / TH350) & put that running gear into the Burb 1. seems easier & cheaper to do 2. I have already everything I need 3. Will I have to change the U joints & transmission shaft ? ( about lenght ) 4. have a 700R4 for spare I can sell why all this ? 1. because this 6.2 has a connecting rod problem... 2. I don't like Diesels , as they stink , smoke , lack power , cost a lot more to maintain & to use ( LPG cheaper than gas oil here in Belgium ) 3. I'm broke , will remain so for the rest of my life , I presume No pic's of the Burb for the moment , I'm going to pick it up next month What do you think , Guys ?
