Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 359733, member: 3825"] The worst part about not knowing what you are doing is when a critical decision snowballs. For example, on this project I assumed that I could put a turbo above the exhaust manifold. I assumed that because I saw pictures of another 6.7 (outside of the truck) where it was done. I assumed that worked. It turns out that the owner of that truck hasn't installed the engine yet and I'm guessing it is not going to fit with the turbo mounted like that. When I measured things and found it probably wouldn't fit in my truck and I found I had height issues, it precipitated a whole bunch of things, including now having to build a manifold to get a good turbo position. Those sorts of things really throw schedules out of whack. The flexplate has been a pain too, but I knew I didn't know anything about it when I started this thread. So it hasn't been any worse than I thought it would be. The CAN Bus stuff is complicated too, but I knew I didn't know anything about it and I got ahead of it learning wise and now I THINK I know what I am doing with it. But I haven't actually run anything with it yet, so we'll see. Shifting the 6R140 is going to be a lot of fun. I have absolutely no idea how that is going to work out ! LOL And I am not kidding either ! The fun continues. BTW, of course there are easier ways to swap a 6.7 into a Superduty. I'm a glutton for punishment and I like the challenge. And I think I'll like the end result. [/QUOTE]
