Whatsup guys. I have the chance to buy a 1981 K20 with 350 and a SM465. My grandpa bought this truck brand new. The 350 runs but not well. I'm thinking I wanna drop a 6.2 in it but i've got some questions. This truck got a brand new radiator a few years ago, but it's not the big 4 core like 6.2's have. Will the smaller radiator keep the 6.2 cool enough? I don't plan on working it real hard so I would think it would but i'm not sure. I found a motor at the junkyard but I'm not sure if it's still in the truck with all the accessories on it. I know I'll need the hydroboost system to make the brakes work, the glow plug system doesn't bother me, i'll just use a relay and a push button. Use the hot wire to the distributor to run the fuel shut off on the IP. Maybe you guys can help me out with any other things I'm missing here. Should be a fun truck when i'm done with it, i'm in minnesota so the body has rust but it's not terrible, better shape then my '83. Only gotta give $1,000 bucks for the truck. Some ideas would be great, thanks.
