Lol.........

 

Nice radiator Gabe!

 

Thanks Glenn I like it too.

 

Hey Guys,
Well its finally time for an update. Have been working on the up pipes, adjusted them from the last set of pictures a bit closer to the head. After taking several measurements, Im confident there will be ample room between the firewall now that they have been snugged up a bit. Then they sat a few days, and finally got made solid today.







My fab work wasnt perfect, so there were some gaps to fill up at the union of everything. Because of that, it looks like there are some goobers here. But considering the gaps I managed to make, and everything being sealed up, Im super happy with them.



A bit of work with the flapper and they will look fine.

Oil drain also got finished, here it is.







And thats it. Next step is to tinker away at getting these parts cleaned and painted, and the truck will likely get put under the knife in the next week or so. Now that these are done, I should be able to do parts table pic soon.

Looks great to me, nice work!

 

Looking good Andrew!

 

Looking good!!

I see the most important part of this process in the third picture....

 

Looks good Andrew!!!!!

 

Looks great Andrew! I know what you mean about the goobers LOL! I need to pull all my IC tubing back out and work on them. They have a few of them goobers on them too. I'll smooth them up and repaint them, just haven't had time to do it. Should have done it before I painted and installed them the first time, but I was in a hurry. LOL!

 

Alright guys, here goes another quick update.

This weekend was a busy one. Truck has not been insured since december, and all of a sudden I had a free weekend, it kinda snuck up on me. So no time like the present.

Pulled in into the garage I am using, which has a really effective industrial heater, thats a win, and a tight fit.



And to try to keep the place warm, I grabbed some plastic from lowes to try and seal it up. This actually turned out pretty funny..



Looks like its coming through a portal or something!


And from the back, the shop is giving birth


And it starts











Riffraff made me do, seriously though..







Shameless plug for Clay and the gang, maybe he will see this and sponsor me with some parts !



And its out



Sitting off to the side




And thats all. I pulled the HPOP off tonight after cleaning up. It is getting sent to Terminator tomorrow. And hopefully I'll pop the injectors out tomorrow night and get them sent to Rosewood. After that, I'll get to work painting, changing injector cups, and getting the headstuds put in while IM waiting to get things back.

As a side not, very happy I pulled the motor to do this deal. Still not sure how I would have gotten the turbo off. Obviously I know its possible, but I struggled with it with the engine out! Looking forward to a setup I can remove very easily !

Nice setup there Andrew! How long was it from start to pulled out?

 

Man you really got with it today! I don't understand why garages weren't made to accommodate a psd.

 

Good build, I'll be following this for sure.

 

I have never had any issues?!?!
