Update - FINALLY some real "progress" - This post will be LOOONG!

After wasting Friday night trying to take the girl to disneyland - it was WAAAY too crowded so we left after like 45 min, but it STILL killed any shop time. And then wasting all of saturday finding a new hydraulic ram for my hoist and them making it fit (pics below) I got to spend 1/2 of the day or so on Sunday working. I didn't really get much done other than a test fit, but boy did it make me feel good to finally take that 1st step FORWARD

1st off - pics of my fabrication to make the dang jack work in my hoist. it hold that cummins just fine now!





Ok - now for the "real" pics


Edge of the motor that took the hit in the fall. Luckily not much damage. I think it just needs a new oil pan gasket



Hack job 2wd steering box I install by PO that I need to fix. It will get a saginaw box instead


Truck lowered (took the 35's off) and waiting for motor



Stock x-member


X-member after cutting/clearancing





Looks like enough room for the A/C compressor - but I need to get one to bolt on to make sure.


The new motor came with the motor mounts cut off the dodge ram frame. These are AMAIZINGLY close to BOLTING IN to my old Ford, so I will use them and beef them up a bit.


My bad arse, dual pass aluminum radiator. I wasn't sure if I was going auto or stick when I bought it, so it has a cooler for the trans on this. I think I will use it for the steering now that I decided on a manual trans.



stock dodge motor mount clamped in place to drill to match stock engine mount holes.

Update.

Monday night = no progress seeing as I was dragged (kicking and screaming I might add) to the bar with a friend. No progress made, but a lot of good concepts thrown around.

Last night I got back to work and spent a night putting the motor in the truck, looking for a bit and pulling it back out. Not fun at all but I discovered my original motor mount plan wouldn't work. I am currently trying to make up my mind on what I want to do for motor mounts, but I'll pull the trigger and move on with a decision soon! Hopefully this time I won't spend 3 hours getting the motor in and out of the truck 4 times...

why's everybody gotta comment on that

Here's a reply I did for the comments from the other forum I posted this build thread on

Daughter!?!? She would love that comment and I might take offense to it

That's Suzy - otherwise known as the "oh so very understanding about my truck fetish" girlfriend. Granted she is young (she's 21 and I'm 28), but I'd have to be a bit older (or more experienced at an EARLY age) to have her as a daughter

I was wondering if anyone would comment about that, since I realized I caught her in her short skirt in a couple of the pics. I did do a nice job of hiding her face though - haha.
