Oh hey look, another 5.9 swap..

[Nailhead]

I would but the images are massive, I'll continue posting once I can figure out a better solution to posting images

I just post 'em from the Tapatalk app. I gave up on the level of computer literacy required by the above process years ago.

ok so finally figured some stuff out and converted a bunch of photos, this should work much better now. so lets start from the beginning.



i picked this up in waxahachie, from what i was told and best i can tell it was apart of the 46infantry and then joined with the armored first. originally i was looking for a series II landy but settled on this after my cousin conviced me. TBH the thing that sealed the deal was the tailgate.


the explosives across the gate really did it for me.

after a setback or two i finally got the truck home



time to set about cleaning it up
i learned a trick from a friend who knows a thing
or two about single stage paint.



to quote Mr. miyagi "wax on, wax off"



i think the paint needs a little more hand massaging,
but its good enough for now

out with the old



and here is the new..to me
i think this 91 cummins with G360 will work just fine
if the G360 ever breaks i'll swith to a G56 or deuce trans.
cause you know bomb proof.

took me a bit tbh, turns out, although its a pain cause i have to basically filter all my images twice. i can mod the size in paint then upload to imgur then post.

first round of fitment check. i know it will fit my cousin has one
on axletechs but my situation is a little different as a i can't sink the
motor as low as he did.



fits pretty good, later i removed the front bumper
and im pretty sure my hoist will now let me push it back another inch or two
Tcase will have to be pushed back, gonna op for a divorced ford
NP205 and try and save the trans brake, maybe make it dual ouput?
to what ends tho? anybody have a reason for doing so?
the dual output that is

round two of fitment after some work was done.
i live on the coast and i am trying to give this thing a fighting chance
hit it with the wire wheel, coat or two of rust primer,
the coat or two of STEEL TECH, then bbq high temp paint.

have every thing painted up to the trans cross member.
i'll paint the rest of the underside once i remove the T-case, and rear

[Salts]

so this was all before taking the bumper off i still have an inch or two of room..
its gonna be a warm firewall lol

[Salts]

still pre bumper pull
(the issue is my hosit cylinder is hitting the bumper)

think i can get a little more room,
im not planning on using the dodge rad,
im gonna use the CJV8 conversion rad seems according to yall that it fits.
then a 3000cfm fan up front since the CJV8 is like three pass.
i would love to fit it in between the engine and rad
but i don't think there will be room. and even if there was,
i doubt there would be good air flow.

[Salts]

getting close to the present,
made up some mount templates



got some help and borrowed tools from a buddy to make/install
some doubler plates



i think i need to cut off the rest of the mount i was gonna try to tie it in
but i don't think it'll look clean or function well
