I have found a 2003 6L from a 1500HD 4wd truck to replace a 4.3L in a 2000 2wd truck.
Just wondering if the frame and motor mounts would be compatable, I wouldn't think so considering it's 4wd.
Also would I have any problems mounting a T56 from a 99 Fbody to it? I have heard that there are problems with 99-2001(2) 6L's and t-56's not coming together properly.
Thanks for any input!
i think the motor mounts are the same but u will need the frame mounts from a 1500(non-HD) v8 2wd truck
yep, you need the mounts from a 1500 V8. As far as the engine itself, there won't be any issue between a 4wd and 2wd.
and the issue you are talking about with the T56 won't affect you with a 2003 engine.
Great thanks a lot for the help guys. Which years of 6L's should I avoid? Is it something with the crank not being compatable with the T-56?
99-2000 with iron heads/long crank. Stay away from those and you will be cool. Some late 2000s have aluminum heads and short crank.Quote:
