Re: 73 MID wheel base engine choices

would it be cheaper and more viable to do a v8 conversion?
Then youd have to get it engineered, adaptor kits etc.

I think some came from the factory with a 1HZ, that way you wouldn't need a certificate and it would be a good simple engine for the middy IMO.
I'd guess that you would still need to ...

Re: 100 series Tranfer Case differences for Duramax Conversi

'If' I wanted to do one, it would be to a 105 series for the solid front axle, instead of IFS.

Any idea what the approximate cost would be, for the Duramax/Allison, and then to fit it?

Re: 79 Series Cruiser Thermo troubles.

I tie off the (viscous) fan to something in the engine bay to stop it spinning on deep water crossings.

Prevents problems with the radiator, as long as you know about the deep water in advance and can stop to tie it off first.
