Check your 454. I had the same thought myself and IIRC, the bolts on a 454 manifold are across from each other in a straight line, whereas the 6.5 has staggered bolt locations. Although the 454 has four equally spaced exhaust ports (right?) so thats a step in the right direction. Maybe like 454...

Hey guys I am back again! It's been quite a while since I have been on here. I come with more questions and updates :) I finally got an axle, its a SRW Dana 60 from a 87 1-ton chevy, I got the 14-bolt FF rear too as a package deal, as well as the front springs. My hangup is now the t-case. I...

Mmk guys so I did more research and ignore this whole 1990 D60 find, apparently the pumpkin on these is much closer to the drivers side than the 79 and so the spring would probably want to sit right on the pumpkin. Bummer. Well I found a 79 chevy 3/4 ton and the ad says it has a d60 up front...

Looks like Rock Auto has them for about $37 a side, luckily w/o a core charge. That's not too bad, those are remans. Do you guys think it seems like a good deal though?? Seems as it would work just as well as a 77.5-79 D60. EDIT: The only thing I have found different in my research is that...

Hey guys real quick question I know its hard to tell from just me asking but... I found a Dana 60 from a 1990 f350. Apparently, these are still kingpin axles, drivers side drop, and same spline count etc. It does not come with calipers, or tierods, or track bar, which is ok I can make my own...

Sorry to hear, you were really getting that thing dialed in. I would assume the boost level was just a bit higher than factory from what you have said before :) Did you do anything to the bottom end on this one? I know you said you were going to try no girdle, is that the case?

That thing sounds awesome, love the sound of that IDI

I considered coil but I think I am gonna do leaf sprung. But my whole goal is going to be to swap it and make it look factory, so little lift, maybe 3", so it sets about as high as a 90s ford 3/4 or 1 ton. Probably going to be a junkyard Dana 44 and junkyard parts (like I said, its on a budget...

SAS = solid axle swap, you are right Also in the near future for my truck (hopefully) but on a budget

It is possible and it has been done, and a few have the numbers to prove it (now accuracy of dynos is a whole other topic, but I tend to believe they are close) Its not easy, and there are several members in the 6.5 community working towards that goal. Some may already be there and just don't...

Haha ok yeah I must have misread, I did take a look at that OMEGA site, and I even did go through "build your own" thermocouple, even though I didn't really know what I was doing, and it gave me a thermocouple that would cost $42, really not bad. I think I might pursue this gm iat thing. I just...

Wow those sound like some interesting jobs, very fulfilling I would imagine. Thanks for the ohm values, looks as if the scale is a bit different for the IAT scale vs the ECT scale. So my option would be to like NVW said try to modify the gauge in the dash to show the correct temperature. I will...

Thanks Tim! Also btw, what do you do? I never found out, but it seems as if you travel a lot.

Hmm I will have to look and see what I have at home, so I can verify the sender by testing it in some hot water and seeing what kind of ohms I get? When you say hot and cold, does that correspond to the extreme values on the dash gauge? Or like 0 degrees and 260 degrees? Thanks for checking on...

oh ha ok, I had a feeling it was in the dash but I was not sure. That sounds like a bit of a project haha, but it would be nice to get the darn thing working again.

What kind of probes do those have Tim? I have a multimeter with a temperature probe, but it is just two wires (I think) with little balls on the end, no real "probe" to it, are these designed to take air temp as well? I guess I should test mine. Also, another question for ya, what would cause...

Ha i guess I spoke too soon, that was fast!

Sounds good to me! I wanna see it accelerate now! As for charge pressure, is that the scew that is at the top of the filter screen? I didn't get a chance to work on the pump this weekend, but last week I bought a blue Holley on ebay with a regulator to put in sometime. This old pump still...

Awesome, now time for vids, I wanna see it in action!! The L-2 spring is whats in my pump as well, so you just remove them and the spring screw and it works fine?? I got a couple more questions here, first, you said you turned the advance screw in 1/2 turn, is that from all the way out? Also...

Ha 6.2 your last thought may be the right one :) Hmm ok I thought thats what advanced it. So does fuel pressure within the housing advance the piston then? Although I haven't touched the screw, I have the cam piece on the throttle shaft adjusted so that it takes more throttle to move the arm...
