1984 Chevy K20 Conversion
This is Scott Lusk's truck who is a PFC in the Marines. We started restoring this truck about 1.5yrs
back. It was coming a long but he ran out of money and then it was time for him to leave for boot
camp. So I decided since he loved diesels so much but couldn't afford one. I would help him out.
I removed the BBC And set in a 98 5.9

I had to remove the stock engine crossmember, notch the front crossmember to aid in maintenance in the
future, and build new engine mounts. On this truck I tried to keep it simple and easy because my pocket book
was very empty now. Here are some pictures of the engine crossmember.

I made this crossmember out of pieces I had on hand and it will unbolt if needed to be. The tubing is 1/4" thick, I wanted
to ensure proper strength.
Here are some pictures of trying to get the engine set in there before the actual mounts were built.
