Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : Old pickup trucks

 

    Nate just got one of those 292 engines, complete, even with the air cleaner, alternator, etc.  Plus a 4 speed tranny. 
 
    It's sitting in the back of his 'new' Chevy PU (p-u because it has a short bed).  I think that he should use his decades of experience as a VW mechanic and figure out a way to install the engine back there - have the only rear engine Chevy 292 stepside in the world. 
 
    He's probably going to do something banal like swapping into place where the 230 now sits.

When the 20-something tow truck driver showed up, he got out of his rig and climbed all over the old 'binder, knocking, slamming, peering... Presently he turned and said: "Jesus, what a tank!" And so I have my very first vehicle with a name..
