Well the truck made it down...barely, lost fifth gear when I hit NY and took precise timing and application of the gas pedal to get the other gears to engage.

Talk about making it by the skin of your teeth. Perfect timing. I'll definitely be following this build. It's cool to watch any time somebody builds a high power ford. :jammin:

Couple things are getting changed up, switching from elites duel fuelers to rcd's cp3 kit and I'm not sure if I mentioned it before but a trutrac for the rear. Sold the ccv kit because there isnt enough room. Also looking into a cage like Craig's depending on price. I'll update this thread as I get info from the guys at MPD.

why you changing your dual fuelers?

ingrahams · Mar 31, 2013

Less fuel lines that Craig has to fit the turbo pipes around, between that and the oil cooler delete it opens up a lot of room to allow Craig to do a cleaner install. Nothing wrong with the elite kit, just not ideal for my particular set up.

Out of curiosity, are the turbos you're using billet or cast wheels?

ingrahams · Apr 1, 2013

Billet HP cast LP I believe

I thought that was yours I saw on Facebook. Looks good bud

At least cover the oil inlet and outlet ports while in fabrication stages. Tisk tisk.

A little update...
Still waiting for a bay to open up at MPD so it is going to get the roll bar installed in the next week or two then hopefully when it gets back there will be room to start the build. ATI damper has been ordered aswell.

Nice, what's a cage cost, if you don't mind me asking.

extreme3807 · Apr 23, 2013

For parts and install mine was quoted 850. That's keeping the bars inside the cab, and a 5 point harness. Can't wait Stew, I'll be up there next week, hopefully I can catch a peek at it

ingrahams · Apr 23, 2013

Not sure if my truck will be back at there shop by then but who knows. My turbo kit and pile of parts will be their. This is going to be a long 10 weeks in Ghana watching my truck take shape.

ingrahams · May 9, 2013

Getting the roll bar installed now, hopefully next week there will be lift open to start the build. Will try and get some pics up soon.

Engine is back from the machine shop, bottom end is all balanced, roll bar is getting finished up. Motor will be going together next week, only thing there waiting on is the trans, Brian is waiting for a batch of input shafts to come in. I am flying in on the 24th to pick it up unless things go to hell. Should have some pics next week.
