I lost my face to the jaws of a poodle
Ok a few update pics on Mater.
Lots of scrap for the local scrap yard.
The question I have on doing the diesel conversion, I've noticed not only the mounts are located differently for the 460 but I may have also discovered that the driveshafts may also be different lengths between the 460 and the 6.9.
The 460 mounting plates are behind the center crossmember over the front axle and the diesel mounting plates are directly over top the center crossmember.
Darrin has a set of diesel mounting plates on the parts truck that he currently has so I've got that covered, but the driveshaft issue is a concern.
My goal on this truck is 500 clams and no more.
Anybody got some input or experiences on this?
Or does the different mounting locations account for same driveshaft lengths for gasser and diesel apps?
Oh hey Darrin, I've got another degreasing job for Tony.
