Re: Backyard Cummins
I knew there would be clearance issues if i didnt get the motor back and down far enough. I ended up taking the engine out, and back in about 3 times during the fitment process. This was due to my inexperience.
If i were to do it again, I would have had the framerails around the engine mounts already cleaned up, ready to weld on the first install. Then create the engine mount tabs while it was in the "perfect position, and tack them in place. It took 3 ratchet straps, and a bottle jack for me to get it right where i wanted it.
Tabs made from 1/4" plate, all of my cuts done with a 4.5" angle grinder. It is by FAR my most heavily used tool on this job.
