I know brackets, cables, linkage, and fasteners have to be considered. My questions involves radiator/firewall clearance and crossmembers. Thanks. Have a low mileage '62 and access to a '50 Deluxe cab GMC half ton with no motor or trans. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,799 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,799 | If that 62 engine is a 235, it's close to a bolt-in swap. The front motor mount bracket will have to be adapted, as the GMC engine is about 2" longer than the Chevy. The bell housing, transmission, rear crossmember, and clutch linkage should be a direct swap with the corresponding Chevy parts. The 230, 250, and 292 engines will require major modifications.
