Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
maibe you could put the exaust outside the frame then you only have the drop under or over the frame to get there and a leafspring to go over and you might even not need to go over the frame if you exit through the front inner fender

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
straight up through the hood..................just kidding. don't do stacks, hideous in my opinion. could you just notch the lower parts of your cross members slightly to keep it tucked then dump either ahead of or behind the tire?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryan is about to feel this pain.
looking at the rear axle. not much room http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...ps19f71a88.jpg from the side, not much room. there are not a lot of options, so i am thrilled to see what Mr. wrencher comes up with http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...psf20ecd0f.jpg |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
That's cool! I wonder how that would look?
|
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
With a lifted truck I doubt they would look very good. And might burn a leg trying to get into the truck if the person is very short.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
If i could make the side pipes step tubes as well, I'd do it. I won't have it in front of the rear tire.................. Been there done that. I'd rather have a stack. I think I have an idea on how to get it through there. But it might be a while before I get there. I still don't have my dom. I just got my stuff from Ballistic yesterday.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
the truck is so high that it wouldnt be a problem to run the pipe inside the rear wheelwell over the tire , i think you whont hit it even at full travel

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I just found this part of the board recently and spent the last few days reading over this thread. A few thoughts:
1) Bad ass! 2) at times I'm lost (I don't know all the lingo) 3) and to quote Jase from Duck Dynasty: "the suspense is killing me!" :metal: Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
More suspense. Ryan is trying to let me get done first. he sidelined the longhorn for a little bit to work on some car... :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryan I need your help.
I got the eng in my 56 all hooked up and good to go. Im having trouble with air in the system. Im using a raycor filter that has 2 inlets and one outlet. running my return line right back into the filter housing mounted on my firewall. Juist have one line from my tank into this filter . this sound ok to you? what does dodge do with there Returnline ? Does it need any kind of a restriction ? or maby 1 way check valve ? Any help would be appreciated. |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Yep endles air was my problem. I got it running thismorn. Was cranky but Im going now. I have ditched the return to the filter and just have the return going into a bucket at the moment . Jusy thinking how I want to tap another line into my tank.
Thanks chevotia. You have a thread for your truck ? Sounds nice ! |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
doesnt the tank have a ventline in the top of the filleropening ? you might be able to put the returnline in there and use a tiny hole in the gascap for a vent another option would be to brace an extra tube intoo the fuelsender , you can remove that away from the tank and the diesel in it
|
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
on my jeep i plumbed the return into the filler neck.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

also, i think its bad business to mount the crossmember to bushings at the frame. it gives the drivetrain a lot of leverage on the bushing and therefore will move more than it would if the bushing is centered Ryan |
