7.3 in and 460 out Part 5 & 6
Ok, last long weekend here, yep turkey time! Got old C6 BB trans out, Found a dead long block 7.3 so do mock up for mounts as well to place diesel C6 in.
Mark and measure where mount plates will go, align driveline, etc,etc .
Pull out mock eng, Remove Rt side 460 plate from eng cross member, Lft side I cut to accommodate oil filter clearance. Cut 3"X6" hole in Rt side for mount plate bolts, place mock eng and plates in and tack in place.
Weld braces in where req'd , finish welding and paint.
Replace front trans pump seal and start eng installation.
With using lift plate you adjust your angle with turn buckles to tilt rear of eng.
Lost daylight but it's in!
Last day till I can get back while weather holds, Starting to get quite cool at night now.... put eng accessories on and install fan shroud & rad.
You can see it's tight on leftside, but clearance is good ! Now to do underside things, it's really starting to look like something, compared to the beginning!
