hey Guys, I am busy at work with my 67, M715 tis is my second proyect, the first one was a piece of cake, no changes, just complete body frame separation paint, an put all back together stock, 24vdc and all.
my brother drove it in TJ Mex for ever. we did complete OHC on stock engine and tranny ( we got most of the replacement parts for the tranny and engine from a napa store in san Diego. (this was about 7 years ago). Well, now i got this other proyect going..and I will do the classical engine swap, I need the gas mileage and a bit of speed...so I am looking to kep it simple. I am contemplating at a 250 chevy, or a 292 six in line engine. not a lot of power but i will not any rough off roading with this truck , just drive arround town and to work (7 miles each way) and i will do a gear ratio change and the stock axles, and install lock hubs.
can anyone recomend any place where I can find a engine swap kit for this application?? (mounts and tranny adpter) . I also have another question: I hear some of you guys have done a leaf spring over axle change for he front suspenssion...can I do this with the stock front axle?? will I need different leaf springs fot this to work?? al your feedback will be greatly appreciated !!
