That duelly set up looks like the older style GM corporate 14 bolt, narrower set up. Actually they work quite well, have used on a 1008 dump body conversion, and have seen pictures of M1010 and 1031s with them on this forum. The good thing about them is fender flairs are not really needed, but...

Glad you had a good trip, That motor is lunchboxed all right. The upper end was probably oil starved and metal contaminated to some degree too, so likely not worth installing a crank kit (turned crank w matching bearings). That oil pickup, it does not look stock to me either

I get it now, but I did not get it from your original post, perhaps I'm not that clever, but seen some kinda crazy posts over the years. I have seen a motor that was junked because the block was cracked at starter mounting, but only after some one had made a poorly executed try at a couple of...

I'll give it a try, it has been a few years: Drain radiator, disconnect hoses. Disconnect oil and transmission cooler lines from radiator and tape off to keep dirt out, same as you would for regular radiator removal. Unbolt two front body to frame bolts under radiator support. These are...

Removing front clip is not that much work once you have done it, and does not require much realignment. I was kind of a junk yarder in my early days, swapped a lot of chevy car and truck parts around, put together good trucks out of two or three junkers, parted out trucks heading to chusher...

If you want the learning experience, swapping motors is not too hard, if you are mechanically inclined and have decent tools. First time just go slow, and it will take you a lot longer than if experienced. If not into learning aspect, and you don't have a lot of time, getting someone to do it...
