Once I realized I need to cut the firewall out to put the engine far enough back to put a radiator in it, the cummins went back in. Haha
I do like the Cummins swaps in these trucks, but i wanted to be different, haha.
So far so good. I want to get the truck completely finished 1st before I start getting carried away with bigger axles, drive train, injectors, motor performance.. ect. There is about 1/2 inch gap between the firewall & the back of the head, with the crank dampener located right in the center of where the stock radiator used to be located. More challenges up ahead! Thanks for the feedback!
