R10 Engine swap help please
Hey all!
Need your help! I am currently building a 87 R10 short bed 2wd. it had a fuely 4.3l v6 and granny tranny manual. Here is the goal. Stuff my carborated 1978 454 engine and th 400 trans into the truck. Here my question. I thought the frame mounts and motor mounts would work from the 79.... Wrong. What mounts and frame stands do I need and does anyone know where to get them?? Second question. Since I am going carbed rather than fuel injected, what do I need to do as far as fuel delivery from my tank? I am assuming being a fuel injected truck it will have a in tank fuel pump. Do I have to bypass or just regulate it?? Thanks folks! Last edited by sledhead61; 05-30-2011 at 12:38 AM. |

Re: R10 Engine swap help please
you should be able to get the factory frame mounts from any autoparts store.
I would regulate the factory pump, make sure you buy a decent one with a return though to keep from burning up the pump. Here is the one i used... Amazon.com: Mallory 4309 High Performance... then just run a fuel pressure guage before the carb under the hood, mine came already set to 7 lbs |
