This turbo swap has been aggravation from day one.
Now I have 3 ears broken off my head with exhaust dumping out.
I should have just left the 35/40 on it.
So bummed out right now.
No diesel related stuff to report unless u guys want to see all the bodywork.
I am getting the 9" together slow but sure.

So, I have an 85 f350. I know the truck looks rough. But I actually just spent the last few months welding in new floor pans, a pillar, b pillar, cab...
I would really appreciate if anyone would chime in and tell me what my problem is.
I have it on craigslist locally as well. I thought everyone wanted these trucks. I can't get a single bite on it.
My first guess is I'm asking too much. But no one will even make an offer. I figured someone...

I've been working steady on swapping. 97 p-pump 12v into my old Ferd. Previous to this I have never touched a cummins. Only IH I.d.i.'s. I love the idi but I wanted to see what all the hype is about. So I started hoarding parts. Fast forward I now have a ppump 12v with a g56 and 231d and a...
