12v to 24v engine swap

[GFreshour]

My 1995 12v runs good, but I have an opportunity to buy a near new 24v complete with wiring/boxes very inexpensively. Has anyone looked into swapping these engines? What would be the most hassle free way of doing it. ?

If it were my truck, I'd put a 97 or 98 pump on the truck with a few other slight mods. You can get the ISB engines to run very good, but I still favor the manual engines. The only way I would R&R a 12 for a 24 valve is if the 12 valve is blown and you got a good deal on the 24 valve. Don't get me wrong, it can be done. BUT it takes a lot more time and money to install the 24 valve than it would to hop up the 12 valve. Just my opinion

I'm with lmitchell. The easiest way to swap is not to swap. The 12v can be hopped up easily and cheaply. Drop the 24v into something else.

Dont do it

No way brother. I'm staying properly valved and electron free as long as I can.

Sell the 24 valve, send the truck to Enterprise Engine. Sit back and hold on!
