My 86 Fummins Project

[Matt_P]

Made some more progress today:

Cam retainer and new oil pump installed:

Destroked adapter plate installed

Flywheel and clutch installed

Engine in the air

Drivetrain in the air

Drivetrain in

Im gonna go ahead and make a whole new crossmember out of round tube and then I can get the driveline angle down 3 degrees and get the drivetrain centered perfect. Then get the rear driveshaft shortened and the front lengthened. Dont mind how nasty everything looks right now, everything is just getting mocked up and then it will all be torn back down and painted.

No really exciting updates right now. Just got the drive train situated perfectly in the truck as far as driveline angles and sitting within 1 degree of level side to side. Monday will be building the new crossmember.

All new lights for the truck did show up though

Why not run stock style cab lights from CP Trucks?

I just think the superduty lights look a little cleaner

My buddy and I got the new crossmember built today. Im really happy with how it turned out.

Plates cut out on the plasma table

Square tubing tacked in

Getting the fitment right

Finished Product

Now the cab is ready to set on to start mocking up piping and everything. Goal is to have everything mocked up and tore back down by february 24th since thats when I scheduled to body to be blasted.

My A-1000 and regulator should be here tomorrow so I can start building the fuel system

I want a CNC plasma table, very jealous that you have that at your disposal.

Its definitely making things a whole lot easier having this plasma table here! I wish I could just take this one everywhere with me LOL

 

[Matt_P]

Picked up my aeromotive A1000 tonight and regulator. Just need to get filter bases and fittings and start building the fuel system next week

Coming along nicely!

Coming along nicely!

Thanks! Its starting to get closer, picked up my rocker bridges from the machine shop today, dropped the driveshafts off to get lengthened/shortened. Got the vacuum pump resealed. Gotta clean out the oil/coolant mixture from the governor housing of the p pump tomorrow and put my 191 delivery valves in.

Also order my manually adjusting proportioning valve and an ass load of fittings today to build my fuel system and oil supply lines for the p pump, vacuum pump and turbo.

Black spray paint FTW! Only problem is I decided the truck isnt gonna be just black now so i guess we will have to paint the bed

What colors are you going to paint it? Great work on this!

That will look good. What wheel/tire combo are you thinking of going with to match that?

yeah I think so, Im thinking of going with a chrome 20x12 fuel maverick with 35x12.50 toyo mt

Did some work on the p pump today. The guy I bought the pump from failed to mention that a mixture of coolant and oil went through the governor housing so it was a little bit of a mess. So today I pulled off the governor housing cover and cleaned out the fuel side of the pump as well. I also installed the 191 delivery valves that I traded for the full cuts that were in the pump.

Before cleaning

Cleaned up

Dont mind the ugly green paint, that will be coming off very soon

Also got a big package of fittings today so I can start building my fuel system and other oil feed lines, also got the manual proportioning valve. My filter bases should be in tomorrow

I forgot how much fun it is to sit down and try to design a fuel system on jegs till I saw that lol

 

[Twinjracing]

Now the fun of putting all the hoses together. I hate that part.

Sent from my shoe phone

Awesome Matt!

Get a little bit of penetrating oil and fine grit sand paper and get rid of that rust!
