It is the old Bummer kit. All fiberglass except for the cage, firewall, bumpers and other essentials so it is pretty light. I am excited to have the power of the 6.0. Did you run into any snags with your conversion? What did you do with AC condenser. I am currently not running mine as I don't want to spend 700 on a S & P set up just yet.

havent got quite that far yet, but depending on what frame your on it is possible you could notch your frame. or you could always make your own relocation brackets. thats what i plan on doing after i get mine up and running.

Let me know how/when you make your brackets.

MY ac compressor will not fit due to fitment issues with the crossmember/front diff.

I undertand that a pulley is also needed. are you going to make that as well? The other issue (i am told) is that ac system is from a 1990 setup and the compressor is supposed to cycle on and off instead of stay on all the time like the one that comes with the engine. Is there a way around that or do I have to pony up and get another compressor?

Thanks
