    Did get a factory shroud to fit over the 348 very nicely....and a few more pics of the gen IV...the headers will be getting swapped out still.

    Fleetside is stalled until I get the step side moving under its own power again....which should be in the next couple of weeks. I have been stockpiling more parts for it as it was a basket case prior to me getting it. I have most of the missing parts for it now, so at least its a complete...

    Yes and no. I ran into clearance issues on cyl 1 with the stepside. No problem.....had a buddy who had the same issue. Went to POL mounts and am waiting on some HTC hedman headers to get here. That will complete the 63 stepside engine/trans. Have been working on the cab in the mean time...

    Heres a pic of the borg warner HD 3 speed T-16. fully synchronized and one heck of a tough transmission. Was factory optioned for big blocks in 67-69 chevy cars. Mostly chevelle and Camaro apps. Was option M13. I found an original 68 Hurst install kit for the T-16 and used a Hurst super...

    Got the Gen IV set into the stepside last night. Set the engine back 1" from the forward mounting locations. Plenty of clearance at the firewall. The frame was trimmed 5/16" for header clearance. Trans was installed also.

    Need help from the experts...348 in a 63 c-10 truck / exhaust manifolds-headers

    Can you provide some pics? I have tried 63 and 64 stock mounts in both the rear and forward positions and aftermarket mounts with no success.

    Thank you sir. Lots of work as I'm OCD with attention to detail, but I'm thrilled with the results. Truck should handle real nice now. Will do the same for the fleetside too when the time comes!!

    Also a few teaser pics of the 63 stepside front end. Just done rebuilding from the frame up. All new Moog suspension, Monroe shocks, converted to a CPP disk brake kit, installed factory front tow hooks (rare on a 1/2 ton) and a factory sway bar. I have also converted to a dual mc and the...

    I have an alternator from my old 230 inline on now, but will have to go to a v8 style alternator due to pulley alignment and the top mounting point.

    Couple of new pics of the alternator mount back and front end sheet metal on for now. The front end will have to come back off, but I need it buttoned up until I complete the step side bbc swap.

    And great looking project. I have a 63 short step side also and working on a matching trailer for the stepside from a buddys 64 that was wrecked.

    Haha...I hear you there. I have another set of mounts enroute now and I'll see if they handle the exhaust clearance issues. I'll keep you posted on it.

    I haven't measured it, but I'd say 1/2" - 3/4" just off the top of my head. I have a buddy sending me one more set of mounts to try 1st....and if they wont work, then we'll go to the horseshoe mount. If I go this route, I'll probably just weld some spacers on the back of the mount and go with...
