Hey Everyone-
I've had an M715 for some time now, but with family and work, that project got shelved for awhile. But now I want to finally get going on it. I'd like to swap in a Cadillac 472 or 500 along with the TH400 that backed the engine, but I have some questions. Like the new motor mounts: can they be welded to the frame (I know some frames on some vehicles should not be welded to - is the M715 frame one of those)? What about the 24Vsysytem - how do you convert to a 12V (buy a Gladiator wiring harness or something)? And what about my Braden winch - what will power that once I swap out the stock stuff (I'd like to keep it if at all possible, to maintain that stock appearance out front)? and what about cooling - what would I do radiator-wise?
I know this is probably something I should post on Modified tech, but wanted some feedback from you all. Thanks, in advance, for any advise!
Dave
