So here you can see it mounted. The oil filter clearance with the steering linkage. The core support was hacked and modified to support the Koyo radiator and Mishimoto intercooler. Grille trimmed to fit.

Alright now we're up to present day. Everything is just about done, waiting on my fans to come in and a few other parts. Installed a Quick car switch panel and a Cube short shifter. (Cube is from Australia) The last one is a video, you should be able to click on it and watch in in my Photobucket.

Well they say bigger is always better. Rear differential gave the boot two days before the Parker Hardcore Loker run. I didn't expect this R&P too last, I've been having problems with it since day one. So, I've been making time to install my Dana 60 and 14bolt. And no, it's not staying dually!

I used Barnes4wd diff covers, steering arms, steering kit, u-bolts, perches, and shock mounts. The 14 bolt shave kit gave me 1.25" of ground clearance.
The rear brakes were difficult because I ordered Cab & Chassis (C&C) rear brake brackets for SRW. But they didn't mean with SRW hubs on it. So I put spacers inbetween the brackets. I ground down the rotor with the grinder to get the rotor diameter to fit. I'll put the rotor on the mill and get it cleaned up soon. I ended up with 68" WMS to WMS
The front axle is currently 75" WMS to WMS. I'm going to put the dually hubs on the lathe and turn them down in single wheel hubs, getting me around 68" WMS to WMS.
I broke a fitting for my hydro assist in the steering box, so I oversized it and drilled it for AN6 since the PSC 8" ram is AN6. I am far from being an experienced welder, but I was pretty proud of most of the welds on the truck, I'll take any pointers I can get if anybody has any advice.

Here is a few more pictures of the motor all setup and done. I need to make an ECU box and clean up a little bit of wiring still. I currently have 4:56 gears, but I plan on changing that soon. Dyno run later today.

184hp and 221tq @ 100MPH. Disregard RPM read outs. Spark was blowing out. I also took her out and stretched her legs. Lots of trimming to be done.
