Just another Fummins with lots of pics!
 

Ok so I started out with a 1991 F 350 7.3L zf-5 truck.

Made the mounts out of 1/4'' plate, and the crossmember tubing is 1 3/4" DOM tubing, but what ever it was, had a higher rating than normal because it was tough on my bender.

Tomorrow I'm planning to start mounting the Dodge radiator and intercooler and adapt the front of the frame to hold it. By having the engine a few inches forward than normal, I'll have to do some trimming on the Ford core support and grill.

Or I'll just build a tube core support and make it work :humm:

Plans for the rest of the build is an NV5600, south bend con ofe clutch and flywheel, BW 13-56 t-case, FASS 95gph, 100-150hp injectors, Adrenaline w/pulse control which will save me on having a bunch of gauges, putting brand new Dodge hydraulics in for the slave, eventually putting twins in whether it be on my own or in a kit, o-ringing the head, head studs, blending the dodge gauge cluster into my Fords dash, reusing my 4'' exhaust, new white paint with pearl, new glass all around, and installing my 2nd gen Dodge seats too.


Any comments, advice, feedback is gladly WANTED/needed.
