Sorry, Swamp who I was referring too.

Picked up a couple of sets of fire rings, an oil cooler bypass, and two 119mm turbos. Also got the slug and machining guides for the slug to go into the front cover.

I can't wait to see this come together!

 

[jimdawg185]

Yeah, me too. Unfortunately the Holland Board of Public Works decided they needed to build a power plant right where my shop is. They kicked us all out and claimed 27 houses. Gotta move out. Just when things were moving forward. Bull****!

 

[Meniacal_Mark]

Wow! That's ridiculous man, sorry to hear about that

 

[TrailerHauler]

That's a real b!tch, I would be pissed! Didn't you just get settled in there?

 

[PSD715]

You should've invited the board members to step 2! LOL

 

[jimdawg185]

Yeah, Ive only been there a few months.....
I wish I could show those a-holes step 2. Their the damn reason I have to move out, dicks.

 

[TRUBBS]

that really sucks, but hopefully they compensate you well enough for it

 

[juniort444e]

any updates on this? Really excited to see this complete.

I don't believe he's done much if anything. He's been pretty tired up with stuff for work and trying to figure out what to do for a shop

 

[juniort444e]

Yeah that's what I figured. I would really love to do this swap on my truck and love watching both his and your builds.

 

[swamp_ratt]

thanks man. If you decide to do it, feel free to ask any questions

 

[juniort444e]

It might be a little while yet. But when that time comes I will be bugging you two for a bunch of info.

Any updates with this?

I had to trade my Scheid pump for a motor for my 6.4. I need to find another pump.
I sign on my house next month, then the welding begins. I am building a sub frame for the motor and trans to sit in as well as for the 4 links. I imagine if I can get a pole barn up in the fall at my new place, the Ex should be at least running by spring. But the issues with my 6.4 trump the Ex project. Damn 6.4!

 

[juniort444e]

Sorry to hear that about the 6.4.

But at least that's good news for the house!

 

[jcarrick]

Very interesting project man. This will be my next conversion, just trying to source a motor for now

 

[BrandonMag]

Any updates?

 

[jimdawg185]

Picked up another engine with a lot of parts I was missing. So as soon as the 6.4 is back on the road the Ex gets its new heart. Basically missing a pump and some ancillary stuff.
