You should let me borrow that fan shroud so I can see if I can make it fit on my truck

Getting somewhere with the truck this weekend. Got the manifold off, batteries, trays, AC compressor and everything attached out. Going to re-wrap the harnesses and tuck all the unused connectors as best I can. Painted the valley, valvecovers, FICM bracket to try and spruce the ol girl up a bit. Just waiting for everything to get back from Powdercoat.

Pulling all the battery cables, and unnecessary wiring tmrw morning to prep for moving the batteries to the frame rail. Finally coming along!!

Well got the majority of the wiring squared away thanks to the help of a friend this morning. Just need to wiring up the NX goodies, order an Odyssey and box and throw it in the frame.

E-Fans ready to rip as well!

Are you leaving the heater box out? If so what did you do in place of the AC pulley?

Yup all of that is remaining off. I got a Non-AC pulley Ford has for 6.0s without AC. Makes life a lot easier when there is a Ford P/N pulley that allows you to use the normal belts!

Nice to know there is that option for the pulley. Build looks great so far!

How much of a PITA was it to relocate the batteries? Just ran a junction under the hood for power/ground and ran a single ground/power to batteries and ran the batteries in parallel?

It wasn't too bad, took a full day between pulling and cleaning up all unnecessary wiring, running the new cables, etc. I ran two positive posts, one on each of radiator, utilized the frame for all grounding needed. Basically have on power coming up from batteries to a terminal post, one cable coming off the post to fuse box, two wires for gauges and fuel pump on that post, one cable going across radiator to power other post, which has my E-Fans, Nitrous, and starter.

Should have everything back from powder coat Wednesday!! Can't wait to see how the color choice turned out.

Nice, I've been contemplating doing it as it really cleans the bay up, and one less thing to do when I decide to go compounds.
Truck looks like it's coming along great btw, certainly farther ahead than mine lol

Another piece of the puzzle came in today. Stock cooler is pretty rough, so decided to try these new Mishimoto units out. It's a stout cooler that's for sure.
