I have a 78 that's been butchered all the hell, and finding right information and repair manuals are a 🤬🤬🤬🤬ING joke, and trying to get info on boob tube here is getting rediculous with the fake sites, and it's a total of frame rebuild, frame weld, dumbass butcher the wiring and gonna stop there jackwad stupidity that's messed with my 78 prior to me, and nope not giving up on him and my rebuild budget is zero $ ! I'm doing this for my wife and I can fix anything but her health, so with that said to anybody else thinking of doing a complete rebuild just remember this , have minimum $20,000 and one hell of tolerance level cause you may find foolish stupid repairs from prior fools who didn't know jack ! So best of luck to u all.
We didn't camouflage the vehicles until the end of 1973. Prior to that, everything was O.D., except the stars on the hood, doors, and bumpers which were white. The bumper unit designations were also white along with the U.S. ARMY and the USA #'s on both sides of the hood. The O.D. paint was easy to touch up. The white parts had to be touched up every 3 months. When the decided to camouflage, it was done by the Installation using the patterns specified by TB 43-0209. CARC paint was very expensive and was strictly controlled by unit commanders.
I have a 67 that i am removing the non factory boat anchor 383 out of for a 5.7 ls and six speed out of a 2002 transam. Ive had it since i was 18 so its time for a change and lighten the front wnd a bit with the aluminum wngine and alterkation k member. Rack and pinion steering + lightweight + affordable =😮😂😂😂😂😂😂
Better to just spend the money and get a ZZ4 crate motor w/warranty. A used LS engine out of a junk yard is a crap shoot. You never know what you're getting, and then you have to worry about motor mounts, wiring, PCM and programming. The crate motor drops right in.
Do you by chance have a list of parts you used for the swap. Like the oil pressure sensor adapter and the temp adapter. Also the fuel line parts fuel pump and stuff like that. Going to be doing my swap on my 79 K20 soon. My donor truck is a 2011 Silverado with a 6.0L. do you have any recommendations for this year of motor?
The KM-914 in snowmobiles is 303 cc per chamber, a bit wider, other dimensions same, as KM-24 and KC-27 in Hercules Wankel W-2000 motorcycle, having intake in front plate, worse. With adequate tuning, the Wankel Club people got nearly 40 HP from a KM-914 for an snowmobile race. The Yanmar Diesel SAE Technical Papers depict good results with Reed-Valve controlled Intake. Kawasaki obtained a patent on Combustion promoting changes in plug hole for Wankel. Blessings +
I’m swapping a 99 LQ4 6.0LS into a 76 C20, picking up a 87 tank, and 87 fuel sending unit… what did you end up doing with your vent on the fuel sending unit?

The goal is not just to narrow the rear end but to also eliminate the c-clips and install larger outboard bearings. This method isn't the best solution.
I have a 1984 Chevy G30 Tioga with 96K miles that sleeps 6 in my driveway. Haven't used it since my husband passed in 2012. I have had the gas tank replaced, fuel line, gas line, fuel pump, carb, plugs, ac blower fan and much more done on it. There is a roof leak that I have yet to find, but I keep it covered at all times with a Tarp, however, the leak did do some damage on the inside a bit that I intend to repair. Otherwise, everything works and other than the area that got water damage, it's in great shape. I have a 5 pound bucket of 100% silicone that I intend to roll on the roof after I clean it and secure all areas with Eternabond whenever I get to it. I would be doing it alone and living in Louisiana where rain comes often has kept me from getting started. Once I do, I intend to seal up that roof pretty tight before starting any inside repairs. In the meantime, I am just watching as many DIY videos that others post to educate myself as much as possible.
