Re: Backyard Cummins
I just need to create my crossmembers(engine and tranny), clean up my welds, and put on some paint before I'm done with the frame work. It was finally looking like I was coming close to being done with fitment. Until I threw the front clip in place just for fun.
3" of clearance in its stock location?!! Awesome..... Looks like i should keep my grinder cutting discs handy. At least I'm motivated to make it fit.
Oh yeah, one trick for taking the engine in and out(because I'm so experienced at it now). It is difficult to set the engine in place with the mounts installed. Because of how far back it sits, they will not easily clear the frame mount tabs. My solution was to unbolt the mounts from the engine(3 bolts) and slide them inside(in between) the frame mount tabs. Then you can lower the engine in place with no obstructions, slide the engine mounts towards the engine, install bolts, Done...
