Ok. Mine will run great if I keep it around 2500rpm+ but it starts to get weird if I try to creep through town. I need to tune it right. I basically made it run good and left for ga rally lol.

I'd like to know how he got that 850 to feed right. My 750 edelbrock has been giving me a little trouble lately. I think I just need to adjust it, it's not liking idling right now. Trys to flood out

Thanks guys. It is very torquey. You can watch it twerk at 40mph when you open the 4 barrel haha. Fuel mileage does suck, I'm getting Maybe 8mpg. I did end up using the factory 6.2 motor mounts and turns out they did bolt up correctly. The ones Napa got me would not line up though. I had to...

Thank you. I'm very happy with it so far. I need to tune the carb again but I haven't had time

Thank you. I used the convertor from the gasser and I just hooked the vacuum line to the back of the intake

Here are some pics as requested

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D2k8_kfqOek Had the exhaust done today. It runs great, still have to dome minor tweaks and tuning but all in all it runs great.

That's the plan I took the bulbs out of the wait to start and water I fuel lol.

Yep. Thank you. Thanks again to everyone who posted helpful information

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Pbl80Jz_g https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uVIKfkcRAd8 Other than exhaust pipes this thing is done. Got everything buttoned up and running. I'm glad its done, I'm ready to drive it instead of just working on it all the time

Today was a productive day, carburetor is on, throttle cable and brackets on, fuel pump on wired and plumbed, vacume lines ran, cap and rotor button plugs and wires is on. New valve covers are on with nice new gaskets, thermostat is on, torque converter bolted to flywheel, starter on and wired...

Thanks. Yeah I got to get this truck done it's going to ga rally if it's ready

Engine is in the hole and bolted to the transmission, the motor mounts ended up lining up perfectly and bolts went in. Have the intake bolted on and the distributor back on. Tomorrow I will do the cap and rotor button, plugs and wires, valve covers, carb, and as much as possible. Hopefully have...

Yup. Metal fabrication and machining is what we do so the welding will hold lol. Not using no harbor freight welder. I didn't think about a different cross member but that's a project for a different day I got to get this truck running.

I've seen vids of that breaker before and it's awesome. I don't have the option of putting the brackets from the coach in this frame because they are a completely different set up. I even bought brand new mounts for a 6.2 to work with this 454 and they are different then the stock diesel mounts...

That's what I say. The stock motor mount location will not work either. Bolted mounts to engine then weld to frame and call it good

So the motor will slid back far enough to reach the transmission correctly. The exhaust manifolds hit the frame, and that is will stock cast iron manifolds

Air cleaner and valve covers and more parts for the big block. Having to notch the frame for the engine to fit. Lots of stuff has gotten in the way of this project but will hopefully have it in the hole tomorrow. Decided to go electric fuel pump for more clearance on the block.

Today I finished pulling the 6.2 out. I then dropped the tank to clean that up. I also started cleaning up the engine bay. Got a lot of the mud and crud off the frame and fenders. Should have the 454 in the hole on Monday or Tuesday.

Well I have been getting some stuff done. I have pulled the factory exhaust off the motor, and have the intake off. I started pulling the 6.2 today. I have the hood off, alts, starter, radiator, wiring unhooked from the engine and should have it out tomorrow. Hopefully have pics tomorrow
