Message: [QUOTE="markfuga, post: 980071, member: 10964"] A time calculation is tough for me to do; I don't track my hours in the shop since it's a hobby. I did track the costs and every item purchased down to the penny though. On a rough estimate, I "technically" started in May 2012 with the initial thought of installing a big block gasser. We'll dismiss all that time, although it counts a little since I did figure out alot about what would need to be done to fit a bigger engine in there. I bought the diesel donor truck in November 2012 and "tinkered" with it until the spring of 2013. So for roughly 1 year (spring 2013 to spring 2014) I dedicated all the spare time I had to this swap (I have a wife and 4 kids, spare time = very little). Assuming 10 hours per week (probably a light estimate) for 52 weeks I would guess around 520 hours. Add back in the tinkering time and time spent on the big block and I'm probably closer to 750 hours. I'm not sure of the band clamp make/model. I looked on Mcmaster for clamps and found some they called out specific for silicone hose: [url]http://www.mcmaster.com/#45945k35/=rqtngy[/url] [/QUOTE]
