I'm on the search for the elusive 503 GMC six banger. God knows there's enough room under the hood of this beast for an Allison v-12, hhmmm! maybe one will fit?

Nothing would slow it down except a gas station. 534 cubes...a 5 + 4 speed...man that is what truckin is all about. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 187 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 187 | Talked to my brother this last Sunday, he builds engines for a living. He said get rid of the F**d and maybe think of putting in a late model diesel and 5-speed. Not a bad idea. The 51' is in excellent shape and it's a dump bed also.I'll have to look up the posts on the diesel conversions I've read here.....Rick

It shrunk the profit margin significantly, and gas was 35 cents per gallon! If it wasn't so heavy, I would have dropped it overboard. Scott | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 187 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 187 | And the real bummer is I have to completely take out the radiator and the support and front sheet metal just to get it out :mad: At least who ever did this didn't cut any thing on the truck. The mounts are made very crudely and must weigh as much as the engine. This big 640 is actually squatting in the front more than normal, I'm going to post the full weight of engine and trans plus mounts when I pull this pig out. Good thing I've got 10 ton overhead cranes at the shop

The shame!.You know what,NOTHING compares to this site anywhere in the world, They are strange folks over there. I never joined in, I just stole info to get this beastie home. Just 25 short miles and then I can start the transplant. I got your E-mail and I hope your getting mine. I think now a 454 would be the ticket, no diesel....Rick
