Ok so apparently some small minded people dont understand that the truck in this signature is a combination of many sarcasims. Please quit being stupid and study up before you run your mouth about it.
Whats the trick cover for? Timing adjustment, or didn't you put some marine cam gear or something on? Oh ya looking sweet.
It really was designed to access a adjustable timing gear, but I wanted something to go in place of the oil fill tube as I will be adding oil fill to the valve cover. And it gives me more room for when I make timing changes with the stock gear....
Picked this NP273F up for $100.... I'm going to take the output shaft, tailhousing and fixed yoke and see if it all fits in my NP271D for a slip yoke eliminator upgrade?
Just tagging - Don't know what you do for a living - but your work and attention to detail is outstanding. Look forward to following this post!
Thanks!
Updates....
I had to send the coils back to FOA to have 90* added to the reservoir attachment. As soon as they return I will be ready to move forward on it.
The motor is almost complete. I should be pre-lubing her this week, then finish the injection pump to fuel supply lines. I will be using a single turbo for now, as it looks like I'm going to have to be a bit creative to fit the twins.
I'm in the process of re-doing (3rd time) my clutch pedal. I like the feel and the ratio seems to be good, just not liking the overall look so I'm using another pedal from a Dodge application.
Boxing the frame has been a bit time consuming... mainly because I'm working around motor, trans, etc. I'm almost done with the difficult section.
On a major search for a radiator.... trying not to have to spend the big cash on a custom fit. Looking to use a aluminum crossflow, maybe with a dual pass so I'm keeping an eye on ebay and craigslist for a deal.

I haven't tried it for fit yet, but I have a radiator from an '85 F250 6.9 IDI that I'm hoping to use for my swap. Rough measurements have it at 30" tall X 31.4 wide at the core, and 34" wide total to each side of the mounting brackets. Upper hose fitting is pass. side so that matches up well, lower is just to the driver's side of center so I'll need to snake an adapter over to that side around the bottom of the radiator.
It's a little wide at the bottom where it has to fit between the frame horns so I'll need to notch them, figure I'll box them in, maybe with C-channel. It's also going to be a bit wide up top...I have the core support from the same truck, I may just cut it up and combine it with the original core support (or my spare one, more probably.) Don't know if you'd consider this a feasible solution for you as well, but I think I can make it work...
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
1 thing that I forgot to mention is to remember to think of an intercooler if you plan on using one. You need to find a radiator "narrow" enough that an IC will fit "around" it.
If I remember right the distance from inside to inside of the tubes on my stupid duty IC was like 30"

Drill pin kit?
I've been considering a fluid damper on my mostly stock engine, as mine appears to be bulging the rubber out of the groove. You are obviously planning on some serious torque here, any reason you chose this one?
killer build
