Is that a stock flexplate?

Nope its a SFI flexplate, its a good deal stronger than the stock flexplate.

Here is a link to the one I have which is the platinum series

About damn time. Looks good matt.

Are those motor mounts beefier than what they look in the pic, because i keep looking at that pic and saying to myself that they dont look thick enough or something.

Yeah I think you're movin a bit to much weight with a bit to much power for the stock one lol.

Thanks Greg! I didnt really have a picture of the destroked mounts but I can post one up if youd like to see a close up. I think they will be plenty strong but the tranny definitely needs to be bolted up to keep the engine from settling too far forward or backward

I made some more progress today.

I got the airdog mounted up on the frame and ran the feed line, dont mind the picture showing the line all bunched up that will be fixed later. Also ran the fuel return line off the engine as well. I just need to get the sump on and run the feed line for that as well as the return line off the airdog.

I mounted the manifold up on the engine as well and Im definitely gonna have some fitment issues with the way I have it. Id have to modify the heater box somewhat to clear the wastegate if I want to run it that way so Im gonna try some other ways.

I also got the tranny mounted to the engine and moved the crossmember forward, net I need to get the 1 1/4" aluminum spacer machined to go between the ford trans mount and the transmission and itll be in place. For now its just sitting on the ford trans mount on the crossmember.

Thanks! Im definitely making sure to take my time and do everything right. Ive referred to your pictures multiple times for pointers and now that I have the trans in I see exactly what you were talking about for making the shifter linkage mount and crossmember mount and Im just gonna do the same thing. So thank you again for all the help!

No problem man, just to bad you gotta go (over there) to see the picsLOL
glad to help out with anything I can

Matt, the common rail manifold seems like it could sets the turbo further forward then the 12/24v. Not for sure if it will bolt to the head. May be an easy option the heater box problem.

Countryboy07 · Mar 16, 2012

CR Manifold would set the turbo further forward, but you'd have to run a spacer to set the turbo higher so it doesn't interfere with the valve cover. At least that was my exeriance with my 24V and stock HE351CW trubo.
