Sure did, I'll never do it again. You might have an easier time with an automatic transmission and something not 4x4. Headaches: Got the engine from a local machine shop. Fresh OH complete. I had to put it together. It was a '74-'81 series (that is one set of balance, older is another and later changes again. Bellhousings bolt up. Put it in an '85 1/2 ton pickup 4x4. Problems: custom make engine mounts, needed an oil pan off a particular model truck, has to have an '81 flywheel (drilled for hydraulic clutch), put in a points dristributor. Then I needed all the stuff like accessory plate for alternator, had to make a slave cylinder linkage. Got it all in and it wouldnt turn over. While the bell housing bolts up the '85 aluminum bell housing has 'stuff' that jambs the flywheel so I had to get an older cast iron flywheel. And on and on. Took 6 weeks and an extra 2 grand. Never again, I learned that vehicles are made to be disposeable. Then there is all the stuff like starters, carburators, that dont fit. I'll be glad to talk you through it much as I remember. My email should be un masked.
