I'm not sure about that comment, 12 valves are my favorite diesel hands down they are proven in the long run, easy to maintain and i can tune it myself.

cheap and easy? Don't think so.

I knew it would be close but just not close enough so i cut the backings off of the mounts and are having them milled down, ill make new backings out of 1/4" plate and have proper alignment in a few days...

Personally I think you need to spend a little more time on the intake haha! Let's take a grinder and grind the "Dodge Ram" off the intake and repaint it then it'll be a build lol. I'm really wanting to see someone do a d-max swap into a 1/2 ton single cab, just waiting on someone to pull the trigger haha! or waiting on a sweet deal for me to pick up a salvaged motor :o
