I did, didn't see much. could still see cross-hatching marks. a couple shiny areas that might be glazing.

Loose bolts as in the ones holding the mount clam shell to the frame or the single through bolt? if it was the single through bolt. do the same thing again that I mentioned on seeing how much the engine moves when in gear with a blip of the throttle. you can put a little more load on it...

well guys! I think we might have a good block! I pulled the pan off and see absolutely no cracks at all! I didn't photo all of the mains webbing, but i did inspect them all. donno how much $$ I will be able to sink into it as far as a full rebuild, but we shall see what all I can do. Next...

That will be my next move, I am making rounds to pull the pan and inspect the under carriage. already draining old oil out and pulled the filter off. gonna eat some late lunch while it's draining. Then flip the engine over and pull the pan.

well I managed to get the cracked 6.2 off the stand and traded places with the newly acquired 6.2. I mounted the starter I had rather than using the starter that was on this engine simply because I knew it worked. ended up having to swap out brackets too. the bracket was different! ( pic...

I've been told this before but on something that has a manual trans. Wouldn't something that's been in front of an automatic hardly have thrust wear?

I found out this doodabber is a glow plug controller! never seen one like this animal before. part number on the sticker is 15575722. looking online it's a GM part. wonder how this thingamig works.

Once you got all the air out and it running smooth, it seems fine. you might have a bad motor mount though. I will let others chime in. easy way to check is to put it into drive, hold the brake and lightly goose the throttle. watch to see if the motor lifts on one side. then do the same...

Looks like you have some earls keeping the underside rust free!

So this must be a very early 6.2 btw I also got all the brackets and pulley setup for it, all v-belt drive. donno if that is a good thing or not, but I do prefer the old belt systems over the serpentine setups. I also like those jumbo AC compressors too. I had one in my old el-camino...

And the cast number with date code. I thought it kinda odd to have a date code like this, not unless this was one of those GM reman units or somesuch. were these diesels available back in 81? the burb is an 84.

Here are the pics of the trans.

Well we have returned from picking up the engine and trans. when I arrived they were already working on pulling it out. all I helped with was lifting and pulling! got it loaded into my truck, tied down and headed back home. My son and I set things up to get it down, I had to split the...

should be 3/8" supply and 5/16" return. but if all you need are some short pieces, just pick up a couple feet of 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 along with a hand full of new clamps.

Just heard back from the guy on marketplace, plan is to head out there in the morning, gonna have to pull it, but he's also giving me the trans too. it has a TH400 behind it. don't really have use for it atm, but if, it's good, it's all mechanical so it will work on just about anything...

Yup, need to fix that before it starts a fire!!

you can get LED's in most any color to go into the cluster. have a look on the jungle site (amazon)

Welcome @pointfast

A mechanical arm on a solenoid might also work with it wired into the thermostat of the fan to open and close automatically.

I would think the lift arms would be just a helper to push the louvers open when the fan pushes wind, but you'd probably need something like a pull chain to close them in the cold.
