Diesel Bombers
2 1/2" exhaust turnout, with 10" braided flex. Also, notice the inlet of the FlowMaster is inboard of the turnown. Tricky fabbing to have such smooth flow on so many compound curves and angles! BUT perfectly spaced through the hole I had to use!

Perfectly spaced @ 3/4" gap, on an compound angle 2 1/2" pipe through a 5 1/2" gap measured at 3/8" above lowest point on body/fender! PLEASE ignore crappy harbor freight welder welds. I couldn't get that thing to weld properly to save my life. Since returned(ALWAYS buy the warranty from them, ppl) full refund.

Factory alternator bracket modified to use uber common GM style alternator. Still need a semi temporary fan shroud. Summit Racing GM style fully TIG'd aluminum radiator bought from a buddy. Had some minor mods to do, still have some after intercooler install.

In this, you can see the blowby vent tube I fabbed on the top of the valve cover. Horizontal line on Firewall is clutch line.

You can see a lot of engineering and production in this. Fabricated battery mount, hold down, Fuel water separator/hand primer bracket. Modified Isuzu A/C vacuum idle up diaphragm bracket for use with throttle. Saab duct is temporary until after Turbo install.

Less work to do than appears to untrained eye, actually, and jack compared to what I have already done. Seat restoration soon($10 bucks on CL? Absolutely!!) Yes. That is an actual Browning .50 Cal "dummy" for beanch testing weapon action. Primer never drilled from factory. Originally thinly chrome plated. REAL "pinapple" dummy hand granade for Transfer case shifter coming soon. And I tell ya, after all this time, work, money, meditation, etc., it is AWESOME to sit in the driver's seat, and fire

Full 2 1/2" exhaust system designed and fabricated by me, with recycled pipes. Very minor surface rust, so after painting with High temp, should last many years after being coated on the inside with oily diesel soot. After the turbo install, this can easily be adapted. Also, this design can be copied at a later date. Still have a heat shield for the muffler, but later. Exhaust system sits higher than Transmission cross member, so will be great for me for a good while.

n this, we can see the well plotted, and nice smooth fuel tubing bends, mounting to frame. The "E" brake cable mounts I had to make, and still need proper hardware. Yes, the Fuel tank is only Ratchet strapped in ATM!

Front brake line routing and mounting. Semi finished radiator frame. Will not be finalized until after intercooler is mounted

Braided stainless brake lines throughout. Skyjacker 8000 nitrogen charged shocks for 3-4" lift.

Still much refinement to be done, but I would venture to say a very much stock appearing conversion!
