Took my decision

[the baron]

Hi all ,
I told you a while ago that I swapped a Yamahe XS650 for a 1986 Burb , with a 6.2 Diesel/700R4 combo.
That 6.2 had a connecting rod problem.
I decided to part out my current 1979 C10 , put its Olds 350/TH350 combo into the Burb , selling the 6.2 for parts ( 400 $ ? ), selling the 700R4 ( at least 500 $ ) , making some cash to restore the 1979 front end & to put it also on the Burb.

Funny case : that Burb was imported from texas in 1995 , but the importer mislead ( intentionally ? ) in the title , so the truck is registered as a 1967 Burb ( more than 25 years old ) , so I will pay 25 $ tax a year , instead of 2000$ , hehe !
I don't have to go to the yearly MOT inspection either !

I hope I will be done with the job at the end of september.

I'll send you pic's of the progress , once I begin

about the TH350 , I took a look at the pan , to see if it matches one of the schemes I saw on Swervin's site , it doesn't ??
there is on the pan the mention : "Hydramatic"
What trans do I have ?
VIN number : CCZ1491172642

I think i will be more present on this site , to ask a lot of questions about that swap
