5.9 CR going in a 1984 GMC 1500

[DirtyMaxx03]

I'm thinking I'll just cut the elbow down and weld a 4" 90 right to it.

probably be easiest. its hard to tell but it looks like its just a kunt hair from clearing

 

[AHarvey]

Yeah, I can make it fit, but it'll take a little persuading.

Just saw this for the first time and I'm very impressed. Good build man looks good so far

[AHarvey]

[AHarvey]

Got my CPP tubular control arms stuck on with some one ton springs minus one coil. helped a bunch. Still gotta hack up the pan.

Commonrail swap is the way to go, I did a 24v and wish I would've spent the extra money on a CR.

Already doing a cummins swap and dash swap, might as well throw a rack and pinion at it too.

I'd say that's one of the easier ways to lose a bunch of weight off the nose. I like it!

Got the bed back from the body man. A friends son is learning and doing pretty well. I had him shave the stake pockets, fuel door, install the 3pc roll pan (shaves bumper relief), do the rest of the bodywork and shoot some new satin black on it.

 

[SmokeShow]

Very nice!

 

[AHarvey]

Rack installed.

 

[CREED1]

Lookin good!

 

[AHarvey]

Raised trans tunnel and moved it back 2". Did a little rust repair while I was in there. This made room to flip the trans cross member to raise the trans 1.5". Now the engine is sitting at about 3.5*.

Really cool truck. The dash swap is fantastic .Rich

 

[DieselWrencher]

Nice truck and nice work you're doing here! That rack should make for a really nice driving square body!

 

[AHarvey]

Thanks guys. Wish I had more time for it. It's taking too long, but it gives me time to think everything through I guess.

I decided to modify the front frame to fit the stock dodge radiator and intercooler. And while it's all apart I am going to go ahead and rollcage it.

If you haven't figured out the exhaust try a vp44 manifold it will shift the turbo forward to the center of the manifold and give you a little more room? I know that is the manifold most guys use for the twin setups on the CR motors.

 

[AHarvey]

With the floor modification, I also made room for the exhaust. Thanks for the info though.

 

[Dazed&Confused]

Very nice.
