    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    The 360 was on the table but the plate was empty.. I can't seem to find one of them in good working order in these parts?? I really would like to delete the spark plugs but it's so much hassle in this particular application. All the upgrades you mention would cost me more than 3 - 6.2's.. I am...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    I have a 4 BT that I am saving for a M56B1 project but it might just end up in this truck.. They are just so hard for me to get and not that cheap anymore.. Thats why I started down the 6.2 road because I have some nice ones but the direction is still undetermined. Some excelent info brought to...

    Front axle problem

    sounds to me like a ring and pinion/ axle shaft issue.. My guess is pinion bearing is bad.. But hey what do I know.. I don't think its a wheel bearing because they both locked up.. Sounds like the differential locked up and then something broke maybe one shaft "betting the long side" and that is...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    Here is the wrecker motor I mentioned earlier.. I took the best pictures I could it's kind of hard to get at in that old bugger. I did grab the fan and it rocked back and forth so its not froze up. The trans is a straight 5 not overdrive with a split axle. I crawled under it and swear the block...

    Won 2 M818s in Lansing, heading to Albany, NY

    It's hard to make money with them.. They are slow and eat fuel... Any loggers in your area? They might need some help from time to time.. That truck is very clean! What was he asking? All I can think of is helping a farmer to pull grain wagons out of them clay fields down there or pulling out...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    Ahhhhh I have awoken the Mopar gods! YES! I have a 60's Dodge wrecker real close to me with a 440 and 5 speed in it.. I will see about the crankshaft bolt pattern maybe he will do that for me..Do you need measurements or will a picture do? So the manifolds off that 440 will probably work? If I...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    Nothing personal Sarge.. Your not dumb.. It just gets exhausting to weed through stuff sometimes when you need answers.. But one good thing about SS is you eventually get what you need.. Your definately right about clinto and I wish the chat was back up and running. What's the deal with that...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    Yes I think the site is great.. I just long for the old days from time to time when we could talk freely and the group was small enough you knew everyone and who was full of crap and who was not.. "But that's all I got to say about thattttt.." So now back to this motor for a M887 swap.. Come on...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    I believe your right.. Do you know much about them? As far as horsepower ratings and will civi manifolds work on it? Any extra info would be helpful..

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    I could tell you but would have to kill you.. A friend of a friend has it.. 361 Chrysler our out of a APC if I had to guess.. Supposedly rebuilt. All waterproof military application.. I will need new manifolds, switch the oil pan around, and the usual stuff but it should have no trouble pushing...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    I might have solved my problem..I will need to change some stuff but should be able to make it work. **** maybe even a NV4500?? But also wonder why I even subject myself to the doo doo that can flow out of this site these days. Again if I was going to replace the entire driveline I would just...

    The LDS 465 1A which is the motor that should be in that truck is valuable. If it runs good.. The tractor shares the same wheelbase as the dump truck so you could put a dump on it? Without seeing it and listening to the motor I can't make a judgment on if you could make money on or with it. The...

    Judging from what I know of Angel Rivera I don't think it would be rinsed out! I think it will be full with fuzz around the lid..

    Passing of Sid Beck

    :shock::shock:I am very shocked! I did not even know he was sick! Oh man this upsets me! He will be greatly missed by me and many others in and out of the hobby.. Truly one of the last of a very special breed... He would send me parts and I pay him later! Now who does that these days...
