was the first post i gave you enough to start the truck? or do you need more? i saw the diagrams on the other page but theyre too small for me to read. if you need more ill try and help ya

 

It is looking real good! You are bustin some *** working on that Ford!

I walk by mine every day and think I should have removed the whole front clip instead of messing with removing the front schoud and grill!

keep up the great work

"Smokin and Rollin" right along

I'm just going with a boring 12V P pump and a NV4500

 

At least yours doesn't have any confusing wiring

 

they all have confusing wiring if you want anything at all to work right.

my wiring took me 4 full days. mine is on a ve pump but it still has a factory computer so making all the preheaters work, wait to start lights, gauges etc took a while.

i didnt just swap harnesses on mine its all custom wired

 

wow this is amazing the fab work is nuts, that gauge cluster set up is beautiful , looks like you must have put the new front on it it looks sharper than the old one

 

Column ignition switch



These were the prongs I used to get power



Mounted back on the column



New starter lack of ''relay'' for use with a momentary switch instead



Drilled a hole thru it to make sure it doesnt move out of the connectors







Sneaky sneaky and out of the way, no accidental touching or bumping of the starter

 

Just about 39k miles off what the engine actually has



Pink and black wire is the 12v constant coming in from the ignition harness.

Big and small blue wires (well at least the big one) runs the gauges, small blue turns on the ignition according to the wiring diagrams. I just hooked the small blue wire up because I heard it engage a relay when given 12v in the under-hood fuse box.

 

looks like your gettin there! wish mine was that easy to wire

 

Man, I am impressed with your skills. One Question, would this swap have been possible if the Ford was at stock ride height with stock springs and tires? Well maybe two questions.
What was the reason you moved the engine forward?
Keep up the good work, I would love to hear this run.

 

Sure it would work on a stock truck, might be a little close to the axle but its nothing raising the engine higher cant fix.

Moved the engine forward because I wanted to be able to work on the engine and pull the head with no problem at all, plus with the tranny shifter tower, it is in a perfect position inside the cab.

Should be running by this weekend. Just awaiting the removal of the Dodge Ram fuel tank out of a donor truck and I have to connect the boost tubes.
