RSH4364, I had a cheap chinese starter with what sounds like some of the same issues. I could not get one of the bolts to go in past the knurled area when I would install them in the block. I could see on the starter housing where the bolt was hittng and used a round file to clearance it, it...

This looks like a GREAT project! I am one of the lucky few who got his CUCV with an unmolested, and in pretty good shape electrical system! One of the things I am going to do over the winter is collect parts to redo my dash w full instrumentation. For my 6.5l turbo install I wanted boost and...

Hi, have you looked into having a shop rebuild your current one? I havent had to look but I believe replacements are pretty salty! Or is yours to far gone/damaged for that? I see your not far from me, Kokomo here and there are some threads on here about how in colder climates like we have in...

Hi, I converted to an electric pump as part of my 6.5l turbo install. I used a fuse tap from the fuse block and wired in a fuse, 10 amp I believe. Im sorry I cant remember which fuse I chose but you want one that is only hot when they key is on, easy to confirm with a volt meter or test light...

Drock, I think those are sweet! I wish I had the equipment to fab up a set for myself! (Welder) Thinking of ordering a set from a fellow SS member, sorry, cant remember his name off the top of my head but he was at one time atleast building them to order. Just need to recover $$ wise from my...

Sharecropper, I havent confirmed this with the tm schematics, but I am pretty sure the tach signal at the ICE port comes from the alt. If I am not correct Im sure some one more knowledgeable than me will chime in!

I had a similar issue also, was told to check grounds as above. When I pulled the front left parking light socket, my problem was w the left side, inside, the socket, the ground tab had broken off and unable to make contact. In my case, there was enough of the ground tab left to simply pull it...

Hello all, as the title says, I am starting to finish up my 6.5l turbo build. The truck had a 6.5l repower when I bought it. I am wondering if there is a way to tell if the IP has been turned up, should I leave as is and see how it runs, or turn it up and watch EGTs? Not sure which is the best...

Thanks for all the replies! I have not had alot of experience with the 700R4 other than a firebird my EX had when I put a shift kit in it for her and had to adjust it then. My understanding and it may be wrong it that once the cable end is hooked up to the inj. pump, you just need a solid, firm...

I found a link to this on another site, the person said they are for the hummer with the turbo 400 but could be made to work with a few mods. I have not seen the actual bracket for the 700R4, but for those that have, or have done the swap and have one, could this be made to work? They say they...

You mention "junk China relays", where is a good place to get good quality, made in America relays? Is there a particular brand to look for? Thanks, Greg

Stonepicker1, I know about the switch from 12mm to 10mm bolts. I didnt want to go with a 97 or later block because, as you said, the smaller bolts leave more meat in the web area but they have the piston squirters and I have read alot about those weakening the lower cylinder area. The motor...

The number in the valley? Its a 141. I had it maged and everything, the guy who did the work is familiar with the 6.2/6.5 motors and said he maged the s#!& out of it and it looked to be a good block. Only thing that needed a lil extra work was he did not like the way the cam felt after he put...

Hello everyone! I have posted several questions in regards to my engine rebuild and have gotten a good start. I thought I would post some pics of what I have done so far. The first one is the block straight back from the shop, the others are of it painted and with the cam, crank, and pistons...

Hi! GREAT job so far! Looking really good! In post #35 in the middle pic, you have some side steps on the truck, do you know what brand, a part number, anything like that for them? I am going to want something like that once I get my lift on until I can afford a set of rock sliders with...

gringeltaube, the machinist I use was going to do just that, fab me a spacer using the old gear just cut the front off then knock the "tabs" off of it and there ya go then he said it was hardened and he didnt want to ruin a $75 mill bit doing it and was going to look at another option. I...

Hello, I dont have the exact measurements with me, but the pic I attached is the 93/94 timing set sprocket I bought. The one on the 96 engine I got is just like the one in gingeltaubes post above. The diff. between the two is exactly the distance between between the short 6.5l balancer and the...

I pick everything up from the machinist tomorrow and I will get some measurements and part numbers. I bought my rebuild kit from Northern Automotive and got the 93/94 timing set, the sprocket I got looks like a typical gasser sprocket. I did recheck and there are two different dampers, one for...

gingeltaube, yep, thats whats in the civi motor I took apart, I am really curious now to get the 6.5 currently in my truck out and apart, as I said, it has no RPM sensor in the cover. If I understand you correctly, I my need to order a 6.2l damper rather than the 6.5l I have now? I cant seem to...

Thank you both very much! davo727, yes, the guy at the shop is familiar with the 6.2/6.5 engines and he said he magged the s#!& out of it for me. pigfoot63, I will go through the TMs and look for a part #, is the balancer your referring to specific to the MV line of engines? Thanks again...
