This is my 1969 D100 that I modified. Its 1991 D150 front suspension, I "Z" cut and boxed the frame under the cab. As mentioned, it's not a bolt in setup and required a lot of modifications to get everything to fit right and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have good fabrication skills. If you do? I would highly recommend it, it has a ton of benefits and modernizes the whole

The later blocks would have had the cu.in. (third and fourth digits) 61 and 62 only, stamped with the engine number, but it's possible prior to 61 they were stamped differently. 1961-67 would have had letters designating the year. TT = 61 VT = 62 AT = 63 B = 64 BT = 65 C = 66 CT = 67 Example: 1961 318 built on Aug 3rd would have been TT-31-8-3 1963 and up would be AT-318-

Probably a little late here on this post. Guy's are doing it, but it's not a bolt in deal for sure and not a conversion I would recommend to anyone, at all. It's a conversion that has been derived by backyard/shadetree mechanics not chassis fabricators. The frame has to be narrowed to get it to fit and fully boxed. The track of the CV is a lot wider than the trucks, so it requir

Just to add to Terry's info, most of the internals will be the same as a passenger car engine as far as bearings, rings, etc. go. The only difference you may run into on a medium-duty truck is the heads, water pump housing, exhaust manifolds and intake maybe different than a passenger car or light-duty truck. So, obviously gaskets and parts related to those items will be truck specific.

If you look up the SDS sheet for the oil, it should tell you how much. You should also be able to look it up on the manufacturers website, all good oils have spec sheets that are downloadable.

I was just going ask the same question. LA is probably the same tube and stick. 6 quarts should be more than enough of a safe range on any LA or A engine. Only issue I would be more concerned about is whether the pickup is correct for the pan and that the pickup is low enough in the pan. Most engines will have the pickup about a 3/8" or less off the bottom of the pan, you don't want i

The other option is to knurl them, then press them in. There only for alignment, so they're not supporting any strength.

Had a great weekend at Carlisle, sold a bunch of parts, met a lot of guys with sweptlines and got some good feedback on my parts and services. As usual, the weather hot and humid. Here's a couple trucks spotted around the grounds.

I'm thinking to just stick with Mopar Performance flat tappet this time around. I wish Mopar Performance would start offering some roller grinds for big blocks.....Mopar Performance is going down the tubes for big block support, there discontinuing everything. They discontinued all the ignition kits, roller rockers, truck pans, engine brackets, etc.

Been hearing a lot of rumors flying around the internet, social media, etc. about lifters and or cam's being less than standard in quality, also a shortage. Wondering if anyone has recently purchased and broke-in a cam? I do understand the issues with low zinc oils out there now...so I don't believe from I read or heard some claim that the low zinc oil is an issue. As we all know we

I was thinking same, only based on serial number. Pretty low number. The VIN is similar to US, only that the sequence number starts with a "9" vs a "1", "6" or "7". Interesting, how they changed stuff over seas for sure.
