Definitely blue fuel lines. We were thinking about polishing the compressor housing. Need to find someone to do it though. I like the blanet idea. It would really cut down under hood temps too.

Nice, can't wait to see the stainless valve covers!

Stainless headers? Those would look awesome...

The stainless headers will be here in 3 weeks. I haven't talked to the guy with the stainless valve covers yet.

It was a crew cab short bed. We cut 54" out of it I believe.

Sorry I haven't updated this in a long time. Been really busy.
We got the engine set in but we need to move it forward 4". There won't be any modification to the firewall. This will give us a little longer driveshaft too. She's a shorty. LOL
Got a 44 gallon steel fuel tank from an 03 superduty ambulance. It'll have plenty of fuel for a road trip!!
Because of the engine moving forward, we don't have a lot of room up front. I have a Flexalite fan so that helps. We're probably going to need to do an air to water intercooler though. We'll see how it measures out. I wouldn't mind it either way.
Today we're ordering a bunch more stuff. New grille, headlights, power windows, keyless entry, security box center console, all new weather stripping, Ford logo hood liner, hood latch and hinges, dome light, all new door panels, and a few other odds and ends. After this stuff is ordered, all that will be left to buy is a South Bend clutch, new tires, and custom bumpers to hold the winch.
We're working on it when we get timenough but we're busy. We really want it done before winter is over.

I don't suppose you have the original console from the bronco you want to part ways with, do you?

Honestly I don't know if it's been touched in the last couple of years. Still sitting in the same spot in the shop. They only live about 5 miles from me.

They’re good. Chris is still at the refinery. Couple of kids now. Shop is doing well, they’re always swamped with rigs. Have a couple full time guys working for them.
