My buddy did that so it would match the blue Isspro gauges. Doesn't look too bad.

Here's mine, she's still in the making though. Hopefully paint soon!

Full swap from 460 auto to 7.3 powerstroke zf5





















Long time coming, especially going broke after buying a part every now and then lol.

Thanks!

Still a long way to go, but from this point on I can drive it on the road.

Lotsa problems along the way too..

For example:




Lost the harness for the TR sensor...





Starter caught on fire and I had chemical burns from the electrical cleaner on my face for 2 weeks...





Flywheel ripped the rear main out when I cranked on it...





Downpipe took 3 hours to even get close to the turbo... and then putting the zf5 in after, oh what a chore...

But in all honesty, I can't wait for the next engine swap!

Next, is dome stage 3s, dual hpops, and an Irate t4 kit with a BW s468

Does your downpipe have a big crack in it Alec. Or is that still the the factory cobra head?
