Heres a bunch of **** i don't need hahah [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] Frame rails all semi smoothed still need to hit them with a grinder and fill some pockets in.

 

Yes ill be using the intercooler from the last turbo setup in the picture

 

I wouldn't call this a mock up but i wanted to get this monster in with all the accessories and transmission to see exactly what I'm working with.

Getting it in was some work, First thing i noticed was the transmission won't let me mount the setup high enough as i liked, meaning it will either sit low in the compartment (level) or i will have to mount the front of the engine rocked up a little to get proper fan alignment and extra pan-axle clearance.

Second was the steering linkage will interfere with the drivers side engine mount, but other then that i have truck loads of room..

Hopefully i will have my engine cradle/crossmember finished soon so i can start my straight axle mock up...

Thats looking pretty awesome, cant wait to see it finished

 

Between school and this project has been moving slowly (but moving), I'm decent with an arc welder so decided my Cummins cradle/crossmember will be of my own making because i like to be difficult like that...

Anyway started out with some 1/4 C channel and started cutting some 45* angles.
some grinding and welding later

 

In for more progress.

I love the outside the box thinking, this thing is going to be a badass build.

 

Brave dude lifting the cummins with the last bolt of the hoist. They have been known to break hoists

 

And photobucket isn't working after those two pictures, What a tease i guess ill upload more tomorrow. I have about 2 more hours of work to put into my cross member and i will be sure to show the finished piece.
