Well I had a bunch of pictures to post of progress from today but my stupid ass just put my work clothes in the wash, while I was smart enough to remove my wallet, keys and knife prior to washing I failed to remember to take my phone out of my lower pocket so it recieved a nice rinse cycle. Im an idiot.

Got the intercooler and radiator mounted up and the core support installed again, pass fender installed. Mounted the fuel pressure regulator and ran the rest of the lines. Got my new head torqued down and everything put back on the engine. Also got the top alternator mount built.

You need a wife or GF that does your laundry then you wouldnt have that problem or atleast have someone else to blame it on.

Keep up the good work look forward to seeing this thing done.

Got some pictures now.

Also got my non ac belt on and routed leaving plenty of clearance to build my lower radiator hose. Got my grid heater delete, one more return spring for the throttle linkage so it returns properly now.

Alternator mount

Thanks Eric! Yeah it's close to being done with mockup, just heater hoses, overflow tank mounting, radiator hoses and drivers side battery trays and electric fans and a couple odds and ends and its good to go. I'd love to fire it up then but I have to strip everything back down and take the body to get blasted next Friday then the long proces of paint and body work and then final assembly

TurboM700 · Mar 13, 2014

What are you using for electric fans? I keep going back and fourth about leaving stock drive train lengths and going e-fan or length/shorten and go mech fan.

I'm gonna see if I can find a pair of 12" fans I like when I'm at jegs today otherwise ill run Taurus fans. The dodge mechanical fan works well on my king ranch but I don't have enough room to do that on this truck

Yeah they definitely do, there is always one more little thing you forget about it, and thanks! Im hoping it will be pretty nice when its all done, Im really anxious to start finally assembly, but I know its a little ways out

I did end up getting two 12" slim fans from jegs today that each push 1200 cfm

Where are you getting your pieces to build your intake and exhaust? The boots and stuff look really good

Thanks! I got all the piping from a place called principle truck supply in columbus, they sell take off bends for dirt cheap. I got the boots and clamps from there as well. The intake boot on the turbo came from Jegs

I need a place like that around here. I'm trying to make my own intake and having no luck finding anything.

I would think that a place like Cumberland Truck Parts over in Chambersburg would be just what you are looking for.... Just a thought.
