Well..... I decided to go ahead and coat the turbine housing.
I also had to take a slight detour on the transmission. I went to replace the pump housing seals. Killed a friction, then I went over to Kingspeed to get help setting up the clutch packs and discovered that direct was toast. So ended up building those two clutches. I also went ahead and jumped on a DPC converter. Got the trans closed up today.

Challenge of the day. I need this sensor on the hot side of the thermostat.
I'm going to look at the temp sensor from a Powerstroke, but the plug is different.
The preferred mount location is to replace one of these plugs with a sensor that is Ford ecm/cluster compatible

Back at it. I plan to crate run the engine this weekend. I have to sort out some version of a fuel system. Tentative plans for transplant next weekend.
Wiring: miscommunication led to stripping the loom from the original harness and rewiring a good deal of what I had done, but I also had the chance to improve on some things.
Carbon Fiber Tech Flex.
I bought a power steering pump, and less than 12 hours later a co-worker hands me one for free. The picture is me pulling the Ford pulley partially off to clear the dodge pump mount bracket.
I don't have pictures, but I have the belt run, I got an AC compressor for an 06 and it will not bolt to my 03-05 ACC bracket. I have to sweet talk the parts house on that one.
Lots to do still.
Glamour shot from work.

Tapatalk is being stupid.
Fir tree zip tie anchors
Got my AC comp, PS pump mounted, belt on.
Caitlyn is mounted.
The beta anteater harness was eleventy billion feet long. I cut it down and added a duetch connector at the bell housing.
Anteater is mounted to the block with uhmw polymer to air gap it from the block (so Joe farmer doesn't send me hate mail)
Downpipe. Tight fit with the dipstick on the trans. Stainless diesel piece. It angles down and out (out of square on two planes).
I expect to have to mod it, so it's not that big a deal.
The jamo exhaust is 4" for the first 3 feet, so I'm hoping to knock that out with minimal effort.
I disappeared the harness I had for my apps, and I'm not engineering a 2 micron fuel system just to run ~15 minutes in my garage.
