Hello Barrman! Just wanted to say Thank You for posting on how you were able to modify your Intake Manifold. [thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup] I just had to replace the heads on our M1008, which has a 6.2L engine. The new heads I bought were for a 6.5L. The problem is the company that I bought...

THANK YOU TIM!!! [thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup] This is a great Help! I assume he must have drilled from the bottom (gasket side) of the manifold, using the holes as where to align the bit, then just drilled straight down? Or did he use a jig to hold it or something. I...

I painted two intake studs orange, so they would show up better in some photos. I'm going to send these photos to the company that I bought the heads from. I know most people here on SS already know what is being discussed, but I thought I would also post these here for the few who don't...

Hummm... interesting. Never heard of those before, but not sure how it (or similar) could work for this intake. I'll have to think about it. I think you're talking about these: Link to summit: http://bit.ly/Intake-Manifold-Bushings

Ok, now I understand, it was to fit the engine with turbo into a different vehicle. That makes more sense, as there wasn't any reason for it that I could see in the trucks. I haven't ruled out modding the intake so long as the rest of the head is the same, as in valves, pre combustion chambers...

This is why I like SS, aside from the vast amount knowledge that is gathered here, you guys are also a good sounding board, and in situations like this, come up with much better solutions than I would. I was already planning on starting to take it back apart today. I'm going to hold off on that...

Internet Yeah, I don't like buying auto parts without seeing them in hand, but no place to buy stuff like this from around here. I emailed the company last night, haven't heard anything back yet. I know its the weekend, but I also emailed them yesterday morning about sending the cores back to...

I am really beyond words at this moment... Tonight I thought I was finally nearly done with getting this engine back together so we could get our truck back... until I set the intake manifold on... and found that on the passenger head the intake bolt angle is apparently 60 degrees, and the...

got the robert shaw thermostat in today... but it was the wrong part number. its a 301-180 instead of the 370-180, so I have to send it back. But from what I have seen online the 370-180 is no longer being made. So I'm going to use the AC -Delco 12TP5D for the time being. If I can find another...

well... found out today that the vacuum pump had been capped off and disconnected from the valve on the IP. Which it also seems that the transmission hose going from the hard line to the IP was also disconnected. Have no idea why someone disconnected it though, unless the vacuum module on the...

Thanks for the info FLU farm [thumbzup] From what I was able to find, the TH400 has a pan with 13 bolts and it looks like this: And the transmission pan on our truck looks exactly like this gasket, and also has 13 bolts. So... why would someone just disconnect the vacuum line?? Could the...

Is there a number or some sure way to ID the transmission?

As far as I know it is stock, it only shifts up to 3rd gear. I know it doesn't like to go over 55mph. It will go a bit more, but it drives best at 55mph. The engine and transmission have been apart, but if it was by some one or the military depot, I do not know.

hum, ok. I'll adjust mine after I get it back up to running shape. I wonder how it worked before without the vacuum even being connected? It seemed to shift ok and such...

ok, well if I have to adjust the shift points, I know how to do that now. So the line from the vacuum pump should be connected to the IP valve? Then down the transmission? The inlet connection on this vacuum pump was capped... nothing was connected to it :shrugs: It seems to work though, just...

deleted double post...

Question: the "vacuum modulator" (I think its called) which is the gear driven device that goes into the block behind the intake manifold, which I think can be adjusted to change your shift points... It has one intake port connection for a hose... But that port has a vacuum cap on it (but the...

I finally took my thermostat housing apart today, found an ac delco 14077122, which is a highflow... but either 190 or 195 degrees... depending on which website you look it up on. I found and ordered the Robert Shaw 370-180 that you suggested, seems a lot of people use it in older vehicles. I...

Yeah, since I found the tops, I decided to go ahead and put the rods in and the rocker arms on. Got it all torqued down. Moving onto the valve covers and whatever else I can get done today... had to order a new oil cooler line as the one that was on it was rubbing the firewall and it had rubbed...

Ok... I had kind of figured this out, but I just came across this diagram which seems to say the same thing. Some rods (apparently older models) "top end" are not "copper" colored, but instead are grey colored... guess some genius figured grey was kind of dumb seeing that it the color of...
