    6.2L detroit in a 715/725?

    I stubled across one of the bellhousing in a junkyard where they had pulled the transmission off of it and it was one of the bell's with the dual patterns in it. ?!?! I couldn't believe what I was seeing at first and knew with that odd bottom '5th bolt' hole it had to fit the 3053/3052...

    Welder Sam, as for the fuel delivery if you stay with the diesel...it's SO easy. Run the mechanical pump on the engine from the regular fuel line from the tank. You'll need a return line from the engine back to the tank. EASIEST way to do this is to slap another line heading rearward down the...

    Thanks Barrman, once again! Tanner...I basically wrote that article in multiple emails and sent it to that guy. I even sent him pics, let him take pics and crawl all over my truck at a show, AND sold him a the bellhousing pictured. No credit WHATSOEVER. Thanks Pete, Azzhole. [thumbzup] That...

    Tanner, what flywheel would you use with the big 3053A swap? I'm VERY well versed in the Chevy to 3053A/3052 tranny swap and have written many posts and references to them. I don't know for sure if the big stock 13" clutch size flywheel will interchange on the 6.x engines. If yes, great and...

    6.2L detroit in a 715/725?

    Hey Kenny, Velvet has a home in Virginia now. An M715 guy got her from me right before I got the Mog. The big axles and tires and my log dragging workout's I was afraid were going to hurt the frame so went in for a replacement with a stronger chassis. The four ton Mog chassis is doing the...

    This is what your truck could look like with 395 XML's, spring over front, 2" tapered block and shackle reversal rear...and lots and lots of clearancing. :mrgreen:

    6.2L detroit in a 715/725?

    YES, YES, YES. Do keep that and swap in an NP205. If you're not going to get retarded with the truck with massive tires, axles, and big HP, either the Chevy or Dodge 205 will work as the Chevy has course spline outputs. The International and Dodge 205's have stronger fine spline outputs. Those...

    6.2L detroit in a 715/725?

    I probably do some things the hard way but...I wanted a mechanical clutch and didn't want to spend money for a factory aluminum bell that I wasn't sure I could get a non hydraulic clutch for anyway. I modified a steel scattershield for the transmission. You could make the swap wildly less...

    6.2L detroit in a 715/725?

    I put a 6.2, NV4500, and NP205 in a M715. It was a nice swap. Ample engine room, truck was pretty gutsy with all the gearing. It was very mechanical feeling though; ie, you gave it 'gas' it went- you lifted, you slowed. I used the simple mounting plates I designed from the Chevrolet 3 bolt...
