83 to 79 engine swap question
« on: Jun 01, 2009, 09:05:58 AM »
Matt blew the engine in his truck. It's an 83 22R carbureted  truck 5 speed. Will a 79 20R engine bolt up to the transmission with out modifying  ?  Thanks  Albert

Thanks for the replys, didn't want to start the swap if it wasn't the way to go.
