Title: 85 C-10, 2wd, SWB/472 big block engine swap
Post by: lukamas82 on October 11, 2011, 12:11:29 pm

I have 1985 C-10, 2wd, SWB and I'm wanting to put a 472 big block caddy engine in it but I have a few questions regarding the oil pan. Does anyone know of any modifications that are made to reverse the oil pan and have a longer pick-up tube? Or perhaps theres enough clearance to use higher engine mounts to raise the engine off the frame more? Any advice is appreciated, so please feel free to offer some. If you know a guy who knows another guy that can help. involve as well. This is important to know before I invest lots of time and money into this project. Thanks
