6.0L engine swap into an 1984 K10 Ok,
So, I have an 1984 K10 and I'm in need of some assistance. I have 6.0L with a 4L80E that I want to put in the truck, but I've never done a job this big before. I found a set of Dirty Dingo's I'm going to use for motor mounts, I'm going with the Painless Performance Harness, want to put in an 87 HD radiator with electric fans, and I found a full suspension bushing for the truck, in order to replace all the dry rot bushings on there now.
I do not know if a new to buy a new set of transmission bushings or if there's a specific adapter kit I need to use for my transfer case? I also would like to know if anybody has seen a 84 K10 online that has done this swap in order to gather additional ideas? I'm also curious to know if I put this engine with transmission if there is additional modifications I need to do?
If anybody could help that would be great!!!
