3208 cat in chevy
i finally found the right thread to put this in.
i need to if it is possible to fit a 3208 cat into a 1968 chevrolet c50 currently with a 327v8. if it is, what would i have to buy to get it to run and work with my sm465 4 speed. |
I have seen it done, but the front end had to be stretched almost a foot to fit the radiator and intercooler. I don't even want to think about what trans they used. It was in a mid 80's crewcab. There used to be a guy in Oklahoma City that did it. I think it was around $25,000 if you provided everything but the engine.

I've heard of a guy doing this with a 1 ton chevy way back. I bet it would sound like a beast though :choochoo:
|
No offence but those motors are kind of a turd, even the ones that have a turbo.

How about 3306 CAT?

sounds like alot of work but i have heard of it being don
the guy that did it around here did it to and 85 f350 i belive he ran adn eaton fuller 6/2 with a divorced transfer case like puddle stomper said u ill have to extend the frame adn body nearly a foot, the guy who did it around here also made his hood adn fenders pivot forward just like on a rig as far as prices and labor i couldnt even bigin to tell |
I dont know why anyone would want a f-ckn 3208 haha :booo:
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- I changed a 3208 in an old ford truck a few months ago, pretty big engine, hard to tell if it would fit or not, but the C50 has a pretty big engine compartment. You would have to change the transmission probably. (You know you want an Eaton anyhow:)) It won't be cheap I bet, and I bet the front suspension on the C50 would have long-term trouble with the weight. Might work out though, the 3208 would pull a lot better than that 327, and be more efficient. |
i was going to help a budy throw a 3208 in his for 350 superduty awhile back but decided to put a 12v instead, a 3208 would be bad ass in my ford or dodge:rocking:
