It's been collecting dust since this time last year when we got the engine and trans in. Been working on fabbing up a new radiator support the last couple of days.

The short list; 03 common rail, NV4500, 13-56 transfer, 03 Dodge radiator and intercooler.

I like Fodge because I had a buddy that put a cummins in his ford and he hated dodge so much he ground the dodge off the valve covers. I used to give him crap about putting a dodge motor in his ford, just to rile him up.

Yes, lots of fabrication involved. None of it was real hard, but time consuming for sure. The radiator support has the most work into it, I cut the middle out and made my own version with mounts for the dodge parts. I would never have tried using the dodge radiator and intercooler if I didn't have a sheet metal shop.
