Hi was wondering what you have swapped in instead of the 6.2, how hard was it and would you recommend it?

Put a 454 in my M1028A1 and am working on logistics to put a 496 aka 8.1 in my M1031.

In the middle of a newer vortec 350 swap.
Also have all the parts for a tbi 454 swap.

How is the 454 working out? Was it a hard swap to do, and how long would you say it took?

 

[Bunkerbuilder]

Nope it was easy...Its the same engine bolt pattern and motor mount.
I swapped out the frame engine mounts I happened to have them I didnt go looking as they are obsolete from gm.
You would be advised to look to a wrecking yard for these mounts FYI: these mounts are the 1 of 3 in the mount that uses 6 7/16 bolts In pairs of 3, bolts to the frame and crossmember.
Sourcing the gas eng pullies and hang on parts alt, power steering pump (w 2 returns, water pump. Keep in mind none of the hang on parts from the 6.2 will fit the 7.4. I did the swap over a weekend with proper engine hoist and air tools, jack stands etc.
.If you have questions pm me.

How hard was the swap would you say?

I wouldn't say it was hard but overall there was a lot to do, from the nv4500 install to the cilivian wiring harness that I put in it was just a lot of work.

Yes it does thank you!

marks86, do you have a thread here on that conversion? If not, could you start a new thread and do one, with lots of pictures, etc? Would love to hear how this is working out for you, and what all was involved.

Thanks!

A pic of a 454 and the second pic is a tall deck BB Chevy with dual alternators.

Use this fuel pump for clearance.
