Wits' End
Specifically for the 84 FJ60, mine, but something everyone can use. There are a ton of threads about engine swaps using the Chevy power plants. What is required in each is to sift through what are the basics behind each one. Yes there will always be things like drive by wire and tach and misc nuts a bolts. But can someone, or several someones, just jot together the abridged version of what the 4.3, 5.3, 5.7 and 6.0 VORTECH motors take to be installed. This is all of course self serving because I am heavily weighted on the side of conversion right now being as I have a 60 sitting in front of Mark's shop gathering dust and I don't want it to stay there forever.
Items that would be helpful would be:
• General availability
• Motor mount solutions
• Cooling options
• Transfer case
• Transmission mods if staying the 4L80 or whatever auto it comes with
• Cross-member issues
• Clearance issues
• Weight issues
• Smog issues
• etc etc etc
Just general rundown for each so that anyone can look at the data matrix and decide from there to get more information about a particular install.
