I really haven't made much progress the past week or so. So came out tonight determined to get something done. I picked up a speedway cooling fan that is supposedly rated for 2700 CFM on its highest setting. It's as thin as I could go and came with a shroud. I a,so wanted the biggest fan I...

The suspension system makes up for a lot of the wiring. I think if I didn't have that, it would be pretty minimal. Basiclly lights and a few wires for the transmission. The tails will be in the rear fenders. Hopefully they look okay. I wanted something big to get attention. Not that this truck...

I wanted some tail lights for the rat and wanted something different. A buddy has been looking for a steering gear for his 69 roadrunner, but didn't want to spend the $500+ everywhere online was asking. He'd looked everywhere for the dang thing. I mentioned a scrap yard an hour north of us and...

Good in this case, bad in other cases :D

The rear end of the pickup, yeah that's the only thing I could see you were questioning. The drive is slightly twisted and I thing the front passangers wheel is in the dirt at the end of the drive, and the drivers side is on the concrete. I'm Pretty happy with the tubes.......Except they're...

The aluminum intercooler piping requires beads to keep the boots from blowing off. I don't have my tig welder setup yet and learned this trick somewhere. Channel lock 909 wir crimpers. Grind off the nose And crimp away. In about 5 minutes you have a full bead completed, and I didn't...

That was a thought at one point, but I've been doing everything possible to keep the bed floor clear so it's flat and useable. I plan to use the truck for.......truck stuff, so I want the floor totally clear.

Got the radiator mounted. I needed it to be mounted to order the fan. Good thing I waited to order the fan because I thought I would have about 4" to work with. Turns out I only have about 2 1/2" between the radiator and nose of the crank shaft :/ Used rubber isolators for the bottom mounts...

Pardon me if I'm missing something blatantly obvious Dr. But what do you mean? What are you seeing that I'm not?

Got another box of stuffs today. I'm really starting to like getting boxs of stuffs. Got the intake piping roughed up. Adding a 45*elbow stright off the turbo really helped bring things in line. Only thing not symmetrical is the valve covers. They are about 1 1/2" off center of the...

Interesting. I'm needing one for a gauge (that's not yet purchased) and for fan relay signal. Might have to order the ones I need. Hoping the gauge comes with the one it needs.

I agree whole heartedly on the symmetry. I think I can get them symmetrical with a 45* boot to get the turbo outlet over the top of the exhaust then towards the front of the truck. If I can't get them exactly even, I'll pipe that side totally different to avoid it looking like a failed attempt...

Interesting. I have two sensors/switches in the water jackets of the head. One at the rear with a short pigtail with 2 leads on it. Another at the thermostat housing with one spade terminal on it. Wondering which was which, I got out the volt meter and torch to test. The one at the rear of...

Started working on the intercooler and radiator mounting Here's the mess I left myself when I started building the shell, but never finished. Glad I never finished, otherwise there would be a different radiator in there. That big round frame crossmember passing throu this thing is a real...

Received the intercooler and radiator for the truck yesterday. I've been procrastinating the grill shell/radiator setup for quite awhile. Not sure why, but I've been dreading that work. I changed routes in the radiator. I had a mustang radiator that I was going to flip sideways, relocate the...

Winner winner! There is/was a 3rd post marked I. Appears it was unceremoniously removed for clearance on the oil filter. Thanks for your help guys!

Picked up my Go Stick!!! :metal: Had it built to support 500 HP using 1 ton u-joints. Should hold up just fine :lol: Eventually, I'm going to experiment with compound turbos and heavy fueling on this truck. My buddy built up his 07 Dodge mega cab with compounds, programming, and injectors. He...

Dang! Good eye! That does indeed look like another post. I'll check that this evening.

There were no other obvious posts other then the 2. I'll take a closer lol tonight though. Good call on the voltage!! This very well could be 24 volts. If I start the engine, can I put a multi meter on the ground and BAT post on the alternator to check? Or does power need to go through a...

That I'm not positive about. I do know that all the factory hydroboost systems I've seen have a small cooler of some sort. Perhaps they are fe commended for hydroboost, but not needed for standard vacuum boost?
