BlackBird620 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Here's what happened to blackbird and no I'm not abandoning blackbird just couldn't pass up a 500buck Kc in better shape than blackbird so she is going under the knife for heart swap into the Kc then will get new floor pans new front end and more interesting heart. Here's the pics Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 What's the verdict on the KC's year? You get discs with that? Quote Link to comment
BlackBird620 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Its a late 78 build making it a early 79 so I can put everything from my blackbird build on it going to put my hard body spindals on first Quote Link to comment
BlackBird620 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 OK got her today 8 of 78 so another 79 for the list stopped at the salvage yard to get some prices check the straps and take pics Quote Link to comment

BlackBird620 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Well update got it home got the dodge stuck in my back yard had to get the only 4x4 we had access to, a oil burning Chevy but trucks at the house threw a battery on it to see what would happen and well the supposedly locked up l20 whirled over like it was nothing battery was low so didn't get to try n get it to start, so do I fix the l20 or swap the ka into it Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Both, if you still plan to sell blackbird. A running driving truck will be worth more. I say get it running as it sits then it's plug and play. Except for driveshafts I guess Quote Link to comment
BlackBird620 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 No the driveshafts are different lengths but the 620 shaft will work in the 240 trans. I may be nuts but its 32f and I just washed Phoenix of all the mold and dirt built up over the 6year sitting pics to come soon Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I was thinking that the longer wheelbase king cab shafts won't fit Blackbird and viceVersa. Quote Link to comment
BlackBird620 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 No the 2 piece shaft that's in the Kc will work in the ka trans with little modifications Quote Link to comment
