That's exactly what I'm hoping...my Grandpa had a 67 Chevy 10 with the 10 bolt rear and the 292....I can remember the torque...seemed it could've been a house mover

I'm going with a swap kit from Novak so I can stay with the stock tranny...the stove stovebolts have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the small block Chevy with a decent bump in horses and torque....AND I CAN TRUST IT LOL

Yeah you're right...first time I let off the clutch it black marked my concrete driveway.....and that's just the Tornado (should've called it a Dust Devil) I'd hate to see what a big block Chevy would do the way it's geared....that's why I had in mind the Stovebolt...give it a bit more horses...

FYI for everyone...I will be selling the Tornado after the swap....it ran great with no rattles and no heat...and believe it or not, no leaks... I haven't had the truck but a month. The former owner was a Vietnam Vet and said he was tired of putting money in her...the fuel pump went out (vacuum...

I was warned to kinda stay in the same hp and torque range for the future of the drive gear....did you have any issues with the big block?

But...the starter

That's exactly what my son said but I'm completely ignorant to diesel engines but thank you for the advice...trying to stay on the same concept with the inline 6

I just looked at that starter...i think it may work...mine bolts straight in like that with the short bolts....the automatic trannys used the long bolts bolting under the bellhousing

Yep....trying to find one without success...turns out hot rudders love the 292s for the torque

Nope...splines are different....

Yeah my mechanic and me just figured that out today....marrying the 6 with its manual bellhousing to the 715's 4 speed...if it'd been the automatic trans bellhousing,the 24 volt Chevy starters from the 80's would've bolted right up

That's why it won't work in the 715 because of the high geared rear end which is 4.65 if think....and the 230 maxes HP at 4000 rpm....not a good combo

Yeah you can fit anything under that big hood... Gotta friend with a 725 with a 86 Chevy military diesel V8

140 HP at 4000 rpm....my Chevy 6 is 180 at 2000

Any sources? Installing a 67 Chevy 250 inline 6

Hey y'all... I'm thinking of swapping my Tornado out for a Chevy inline 6....looking at the kits from Novak...but I want to keep the 24v system because all my lights including the blackouts work....but how do I get the 12v starter and distributor to work on the 24v system? I found a converter...
