    Continuing with the build... I mounted the fuel pump and filter on the inner fender. Then using the the CAT Flange drawing kindly provided by this forum (THANK YOU) I made 2 downpipes. Yes I deleted the cats cause I'm not required to run them. Leave my truck unattended for 5 minutes...

    Anyone know where I can get a 3ur from. I would prefer the whole engine but will also take a long block and work from there. Thank you

    I run a machine shop in Canada, I know, a bit far away. We have a watejet, laser, press brake, cnc mill and lathe, also access to 5 axis machines. If you can't find anyone, send me an email.

    A custom p/s reservoir was made. I welded in an fitting to the bottom., and a threaded filler cap on top. The container holds exactly one jug of oil. The whole contraction was then mounted on the inned fender.

    Oh shortening the driveshaft is not a problem, time more or less is. It's hard to find a good axle shop around here that will do it quickly. Not sure about the gears, but the th350 has built internals with an agressive shift kit, it also used to be behind my 250. It just worked out so easily...

    The truck origenaly came with a 396 diesel, so it has upgraded brakes and a heavy duty cross member. Previous owner installed the straight six (was an obtion in early 80s) and restored it. The reason I went with the th350 is, well I had it. Using it, ment I could use the rear transmission mount...

    I tore the engine half apart and replaced the spark plugs and timing belt. Cleaned the water pump and all the passages. I had to pull the bottom and mid pan off, during the accident the mid plate got cracked, and I needed to weld it.

    I machined up an adapter to allow both the stock flywheel of the uz for the starter, and the flywheel for the Th350 torque converter. And after a week they are one

    Next the Lexus motor and tranny were separated. The same happened to the Chevy 250 and Th350. Measurements were taken and an adapter plate was cut. The part was cut on a watejet.

    Happy to have a forklift, cause this vehicle was not a happy donor. It sat for 6 years under a tarp, most bolts underneath were rusted and the damage did not help. After a day of frustration the donor finally let go of its only non damaged part.
