  • This is my 1986 gmc SWB 3/4 ton truck with a 2006 8100 vortec and Allison 6 speed tranny. Also has a 14 bolt rear end. I've been playing with my HP Tuners and have managed 14-15 mpg! Any way this is a tire burning Jose!!

    Nice truck. For others looking to swap into a square body, you can retain AC and avoid cutting the frame by using a Topkick/Express van bracket.

    Putting the ECM under the battery isn't probably the best idea as if you battery leaks well I think you know where I'm going with this. Bad ass truck all the same though. Keep up the good work. 🙂

    really clean install. I have a 1978 k20 that I'm going to take the 1991 caprice police motor out and drop one of these in. cant wait. motor will be here soon then the start begins.
    FYI - ORD now makes a bbc xmember... WOAH 15mpg!!!! I'm hearing 9mpg all the time... trailering or not... enjoy that good gas mileage...

      Este motor no usa distribuidor, si quieres hacerle una conversión a carburador lo mas efectivo seria comprarle un modulo de encendido (Un msd 6010 para ser mas específicos), ademas de el múltiple de admisión.

    Nice build man, I see you turbocharged this on the related videos and I'm going there next. With how good that sounds N/A you almost hate to quiet it down with a turbo.... almost.

    correction guy 14 bolt rear Dana 90 is actually a 1 ton differential the 12bolt Dana 60 is a 3/4 ton 2500 rear differential and the dana44 is a 10bolt 1/2ton rear differential thought id let you know I'm into 4x4 trucks so been thru a differential or two lol I like keeping the 10-12 bolt differentials when I can for maximum ground clearance I just need them up with 40spline axles and Yukon or superior ring and pinions and the same on the carrier bearings I add a solid locker by either ARB & Auburn even Detroit lockers work well I like air locks but solid never fails spools are great as well for 33-38"tires so its all around whatever ball park your playing in mostly

    • @ShakeyJake1984
      @ShakeyJake1984  8 лет назад

      correction there fellar, 10 and 12 bolt rear ends didn't come out in 8 lug.. this is a semi float 10.5" ring gear (14 actual bolts holding the cover on) rear end..

    • @jberry1982
      @jberry1982 8 лет назад

      +Jake Wells I never said 12 or 14 bolts were all 8lugz cuz I've seen many 12 bolts have 6&8 lugs I've seen some 14 bolts converted to 6 lug to

    • @ShakeyJake1984
      @ShakeyJake1984  8 лет назад

      well I guess I don't know what your correcting comment is for then.. I have a corporate 14 bolt 3/4 ton semi float axle, 9.5" ring gear rearend in this truck.. the corporate 14 bolt 10.5" ring gear, full float axles came out in in 3/4 ton trucks as well as one ton single wheel trucks. the dually is the dana 90 which also has a 14 bolt cover on it. the corporate rear ends and dana rears on different manufacturers..

    Interesting... What does the aftermarket support look like with these? Are they similar to ls swaps like say in mustangs etc? Im interested in swapping one of these into something small and forced induction for a drag effort..

    • @Nippledozer
      @Nippledozer 9 лет назад

      +stevenminix Aftermarket is pretty mall, but not nonexistent. Lots of parts from the marine applications of these motors.. i believe a company called Raylar makes some? Its a hybrid of an old fashioned big block and an LS... so while some ports out of those engines will work (BB exhuast for example), things like cams and heads are unique

      Best I ever seen was on the highway with the zf transmission and it did 14 mpg thats with 373 gears. I owned two 8.1's one was a suburban that got around 12-13 had the 4L85e and a 2500 that had the Allison 1000 it maybe got 12 on a good day, towing it was around 9-10 MPG depending on weight. Still my favorite V8 gas engine regardless. Will be putting one in my 72 gmc shortly TH400 with GV unit.

    • @ka0tyk
      @ka0tyk 5 лет назад

      It ain’t that far off. I have a 2001 3500 dually with the 8.1 and I’m averaging 12-13 around the city. Keep your foot out of it you’ll be fine. Highway I get into the 15-17s depending how fast I cruise. This is all through an elm327 Bluetooth dongle and torque pro. Not just coming up with numbers out of nowhere. Good part of the 8.1 is it lives most of its life below 2500 rpm because it makes good torque down low.
