Pulled the diesel 6.2 today . Will install 454 by the weekend. Will post some photos tomorrow. Have alot of 6.2 engine parts for sale cheap. Motor ran great - had wiring problems. Should be a easy swap . Stay tuned

woot i am doing the same thing i have a TBI 454 with a 465 to drop in my M1008

 

[Cucvnut]

Let me know what you have to do to convert it to 12V please

 

[Recovry4x4]

Let me know what youy need to get out of the 6.2 junk.

 

[POOR WHITE BOY]

6.2 no harness , no alternators . , no air cleaner , ran fine in truck , $300.00 . Motor is complete right now but the parts listed should be sold today to another member. Thanks

what rpm stall converter did you swap in? how did you readjust the shift points for the gas engine?

 

[POOR WHITE BOY]

Shift points are adjusted with vacuum modulator on tranny. I am not going to mess with that till after i have it running - if any adjustments are needed it is very simple to do with allen wrench. I am using a heavy duty tci towing converter - 6 lug - designed for a 1 ton chevy 4x4 1990 model with a 454 engine and 4.56 gears. Stock converter may or maynot work - i am putting a new one in and a new front pump seal - dont want to have to tear it down again .

Did your truck have a good GP controller card and relay? if so I'd be interested in purchasing. easy to pack and ship.....let me know

 

[Cucvnut]

[POOR WHITE BOY]

Sorry guys - parts are pick up and pay only . I have no time to pack and ship.

454 is bolted in place. Installed new - shorter throttle cable. Waiting on serpentine belt kit to arrive.

That fits better than I though it would.
Nice job.

 

[lavarok]

I am interested in the motor. PM Sent!

 

[POOR WHITE BOY]

Motor has been sold

Wow, very nice. Not just talking about it, doing it. Looks like you used the stock motor mount location. Is it the same with a small block conversion? Thanks for the info.

 

[POOR WHITE BOY]

It all bolts right in . The small block and big block mount buckets are a little different......will bolt in but 454 sits about an inch higher with small block buckets. Will post some more photos this weekend

I think it looks great. I really like the intake, I am considering purchsing the same one from Summit. The 454 looks great, I am doing the conversion now on a m1009.

PWB, That's an interesting conversion. I infact may be doing exactly the opposite, because I have decided to sell my Crash Rescue truck and I haven't started the engine yet and it may have a problem with it. I'll know after this weekend. Will the accessories with their brackets fit back and forth from the 454 to the 6.2 diesel? I'd like to keep the truck original, but selling a truck with a dead engine will probably hurt it's sale price and I have a couple of good 6.2's laying around.

i m putting a gm serpentine belt kit on mine so i am changing all of the brackets/ etc. the powersteering pump i am going to use the original pump just changing the pulley and mounting on new bracket.i hope to have it running this weekend
