Phixius Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Stupid Karma! Heres the broke stud I had after making fun on jrock... drilled a hole in the stud and it went in a little further, then tapped in a bit. its working.. yay! its out. Got a question on the 5spd swap tho... 72.5/73 came with short tail 4spd and 74+ came with long tail 4 spd or 5spd. searching its seems that you can use the same crossmember with 5spd mount. But, all the info I see is for the 74+. are the crossmembers the same for all or are they different and if so will it bolt up or do I need to custom fab a crossmember? I have no problem making one, just be nice if we can spend a couple bucks for less work/time... Oh, and I popped off the oil pan of the l16 that came with the truck... Time to play, WHATS IN THAT OIL PAN!?!!???!?? wtf, Is ths normal? :frantics: haha! this was after I squirted that shit with what was left of my cleaner on the sludge, didnt even notice what the chunks were when scraping them up from the bottom... lots of shit in there, broken bolts, unbroken bolts, LOTS of metal pieces, a shaft key, and much much more. this motor is just Fucked... who wants it? 1 Quote Link to comment

I didnt throw it in there for the lulz. thats whats in the oil pan dont know what else is still lodged in the block somewhere. There was a clunk after we put a dif head on and turned it over. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Is this the 1600 cuz i was thinking it was the L20b you just got for it? Or am i confused because you mentioned a "clunk" . At least you have a spare woodruff key ,,hell i'm always misplacing those god damn things. 1 Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 this is the l16 that came with the truck same l16 with the head problems at the beginning of thread. the cluck was in the bottom of l16 after we put a new head on and tried starting it. thats what made us say fuck this motor and got the l20. 1 Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thread revival.. Well, this truck has been done for about 9months. The l20 we got needed a rebuild. Got it running good.
