I'm helping my father out swapping a 6.9 IDI into his 2500 Chevy. You may be wondering why, I sure am also.
He's had the Chevy for 20+ years but the 350/th400 is shot. The truck itself is straight and rust free. He's had a number of IDI's and always had good luck and got this 6.9/C6 setup from an '84 econoline based short bus (low mile after reman.) for free. So here we are. He helped me with my coyote swapped fox so now I'm helping him.
We've got the engine/trans fitted in really well. Only fitment issue left is a starter. With the old style starter the solenoid hits the frame. With a hi-torque starter the motor hits the frame. It's near where the IFS bolts in so I'm trying to avoid notching the frame.
There is room, just neither starter positions correctly to clear. Does anyone make clockable starter for these engines?
