the mounts i used were for a 68 nova v8. if i have a problem they make high performance ones. the high performance mounts werent in stock,they had to be ordered and i needed mounts to get the motor in.

 

here is a picture of the truck with the motor mounted. i have the mounts for the ps done motor mounts are done trnas mount is done and i chopped the stock harness to fit the new motor. my newest problem is i cant get a slip yoke to fit into the back of my ax15 trans i think there might be some thing wrong with bushing in the tail shaft i have three diffrent slip yokes from trucks with the same spline count all of them only go in half way. otherwise the swap is going well

 

here is the pic

 

Ok I got my truck running and every thing is good exept it runns like crap and throttles up and down in the lower rpm's also doesn't really idle. I got the donor car in pieces so I never heard it run in the car. It had no injectors or injector lines when I got it I got them from the same year car and bleed them all. any idea's?

 

sounds like air in system to me or sucking air somewhere.

I think I have a bad injection pump! I have been doing a lot of looking around on benz diesel sites and every body says that these pumps are indestructible and never go bad but I think mine is junk. I am getting fuel from the low pressure pump to the filter and from the filter to the IP but I am only getting fuel from the # 5 injector line and very little from the # 4 line absolutely nothing from the front 3 I have tried to bleed out air,also used the prime pump for extended periods of time and cranked the motor till the batery is dead and still nothing to the front three lines. I have disconnected the vaccum lines to the shut off and that had no effect. all my fuel lines are air tight and there is no air getting into the fuel system. can someone please help me

 

the solution I found to my problem is another motor. I found one for three hundred and could no pass it up considering the injection pump for these are going for 200 plus. my plan is to pull the motor and replace it with this new motor known to run. later I can change the injection pump on the engine stand after I find one that doesnt cost as much as the motor itself. sucks pulling out the motor that I just put in but atleast the truck is set up for the om this time, should hear it in the truck soon. aiming for this weekend. also gives me a chance to pull the trans and try to figure out what is wrong (outside the truck) with the tail shaft and why it wont accept any yokes.

 

I admire your determination. I'd probably have to take a break from the project for a few weeks if I put in a defective motor.

 

Hang in there! I had to swap out motors in mine at the begining as well, but worth it.

 

it also looks like the cam timming is off on the first motor. I cranked the motor over till the cam marks lined up and the crank pulley was a 27* btdc. I looked on the internet for info on cam timming but nobody shows anthing about what to line up the crank with. it would be my assumption you would want it to line up with tdc. correct? thanks
