I digging the new shift knob! Question is, what took its place on the lathe? :lol:

You seem to perform magic on things that most people would consider scrap. I look forward to seeing where this goes, very nice work. -Jack

Ive got one from my 69 with a j13, send me a message if its what you need, and we can figure something out. This post will probably get deleted because its not in the classifieds section. -Jack

I did a bunch of research and planning on the same swap, except with an ej20. After tons of measuring, i figured out that in order to run AWD, you have to jam the engine wayy forward, and run a bed mount radiator. But you might be able to fit one up front if you stay natrually aspirated. If i remember correctly, the shifter will be set back too far as well, unless you run some kind of remote shift setup. The height of the engine shouldnt be an issue, but to get ideal cv angle(if running awd), you may need to notch the frame, and just pull the engine to change valve cover gaskets lol. The frame clearance gets especialy tight with a dual cam. All said and done, the front cv angle is still not optimal. Even with the engine pushed forward as far as possible, the cvs are still angled towards the front of the car. Which will most likely lead to binding axles, or at the very least they will be operating at their weakest point. And the suspension is wide enough to warrant some flares, or wheels with tons of positive offset. Anything is possible, if you have the fabrication experience, or money, lots of it :lol:. I think it would be cool to see this swap completed, even if you cant run awd. I still have a few pictures that may be of use. Any pics of the truck you plan on swapping? -Jack I was planning on running the radiator under the bed, similar to this, with some cool duct work. But i hated the idea of not being able to use the truck as a truck.
