96 Powerstroke Build

[Diesel_Nate96]

Hey guys new to the forum ive been browsing
it for months and figured i post up what ive been doing.

Well for starters i bought a 96 for 800 bucks, the engine didnt run bc the guy who owned it before me took out the rear tank and the selector switch didnt work so i hard lined the front tank and she fired up, put new batteries, glow plugs, and much much more, now looking for more power the truck had 270k on it when i bought it in december, im 17 years old amd love the truck so much i got a job now so im looking to build it to an extreme extent, i went and bought a 136k mile motor with stage one injectors in it, stuck the injectors in my truck, and now im building the new motor less talking now and time for the pictures

New pan and oil cooler rebuild

Some paint

Gunna be a couple months before i put it in the truck but i would like to stage 3 injectors and a php hydra chip what upgrades do i have to do to the notor before i put the stages 3s in and who should i go with for the injectors. What are some good other mods i could do, i was thinking Bout running twin turbos, with both the stockers i have here are some pics of the truck

And i just put in glow shift gauges witch im super excited about

Any questions comments or suggestions are welcome also looking for color choices to paint the truck

Thanks so much for looking and much more to come !!!!!!!

I think you got a good buy.. nice work keep it up!

Looks like a damn good start! My suggestions/opinions, ditch the Glow****s for a set of Isspro's, they are not a very reliable gauge, and ditch those semi mirrors.

 

[Diesel_Nate96]

Im putting dodge tow mirrors on it, haters gunna hate, but i like the way they look and i like the gauges, when they **** the bed ill get some good ones

And thankyou im going to look at anotjer obs for 1800

 

[Diesel_Nate96]

Anyone have suggestions on an efuel system for under 500 bucks also

Where do you live? Everybody round here wants way more for their trucks

 

[backwoodsboy]

Google: "JoeDaddy tightwad mod" for an electric fuel system under $500.
You won't support hybrid injectors with it, but it will get you started.

When I see someone like yourself get into these trucks and get excited about it. Brings back all the feelings I've had for them! Glad youre here good luck with the build. Do yourself a favor figure out how to use the search function on here and read read read. New paint looks good btw!

Word of advice to you since I was 17 when I built my obs is don't cheap out on anything. Save and get good stuff or it will bite you in the ass sooner or later. these trucks aren't to forgiving. Also get quality injectors. and if u want to keep those injectors working right get a good fuel system. A lot of people have good luck with aeromotive systems. I have one and I love it. What are your horsepower goals. Btw refer to injectors by cc and nozzle flow like this. 2xx/1xx for example
