ha ha :grin: wow Thanks. I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Wasn't exactly how I intended to do it when I started the modification, but it works and doesn't look like a botched up mess. I like fabricating and building things, its interesting and you never do the exact same job twice. Being...

~ CUCV 6.2L Intake Modification Continued ~ After I finished drilling the intake. I took a sawzall with a metal cutting blade, and cut down the 3 tall original bolt holes, and tried to make them as level as possible for the new bolt angle. Then I took a die grinder with a sand paper disk to...

Here is my take on: The "What to do if a company sends you a wrong Head, and you don't have time, money, or patiencesto tear it all back apart and do the job all over again" manual... The short version, as I know there are many who don't want to read the details: With the help and input of...

Ok... I'm finally back. Had some things tie me up for a while, then the power went out... don't know why didn't have a storm or anything, I guess they must just be working on the lines or something. Anyway, Thanks Guys for the replys on the alternator and belt problems. They helped alot...

Thanks Ken for the pic. Thats the best angle I've seen yet of the driver's alt. ...... btw... looks like you have a nice lathe there [thumbzup] one of several tools I really wish I had in my garage... i don't know where I would put it.... but I would make room some how :mrgreen:

thank all, tied up for a bit, will reply later but yes, i do have the alt in front of the bracket

Ok...... does anyone by chance know if there is a belt routing diagram in ANY of the TM's??? :shrugs: OR if there is one shown here on SS anywhere? I've been searching for over an hour... the drivers side alternator is not even close to lining up with any pulley, and I can't figure out which...

working on it :-) just slow I guess Will try to update tonight

Great, Thanks for the info Barrman!

Yeah, after looking at Barrman's photos, that's what I was thinking. Yes, its obviously going to need some shorter bolts to replace the longer one's. Barrman mentioned something about wedge washers, I've been looking online, most are only in large quantities, and only 1/8" on the thick end...

Good Morning Tinstar Normally I would be right there with you. I'm just like my father, "...if its worth doing, its worth doing right..." Thats what he taught me as I was growing up, and he's still the same today. Usually if I am going to do a job, whether it is a small thing or something like...

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...
