I definitely like the fact that it’s not in front of the hpop cover anymore. But as of now for budget reasons I’m gonna half to stick to what I have l. But definitely a lot slicker setup.

Well my injectors made it to rosewood Monday afternoon. Said there about 3weeks out before they will get to tare into them. Hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to get manifolds and motor mounts on and maybe get my accessories brackets powder coated as well.

And yes I’m definitely ready to get the engine in my current engine runs okay as it is I have modified stock turbo and 150cc injectors and canned hydra tunes. I’m pretty sure my current engines hpop is definitely weak as light comes on easy and to be honest truck feels like it has more power. If you only use the first 2/3 of the pedal really falls on its face if you run wide open throttle. Need to do some data logging before I pull engine plan to put in another cab and chassis truck I have.

Well no pics sorry guys but I got my manifolds cleaned up and header paint on them and cured them in the oven. Installed with gaskets and new bolts along with I cleaned and painted my motor mounts and reinstalled them. And I installed the sd dipstick tube pretty much to point now where I’m waiting on parts.
