Where the 418 is at right now . . . Just do not ask where the time will come from to drop it into the truck, dyno it and pull it back out . .
I really want to be working on the ecoboost and 427 truck projects but keep getting side tracked . .
That was the quickest update I could do but yet let ya all know I was not sitting total idle the last month . . LOL

Another 3 months have gone by . . since last post.
Finally making some progress on the EcoProject.
The largest thing prior to test drive was a entire new CAC~Intercooler along with all piping.
Basically had to make the entire system from scratch. Picked up a way too big 24 x 12 x 4.5 Intercooler and started from there trying to get it to fit between the frame rails yet have piping that clears everything and still to be able to service it with ease.
This evening I am finishing the install. I bought the Intercooler core back in March so its taken a while.
A few pics of the all new "system" I fabbed up. Goal was to make it look like it belonged there yet clear everything.
I was finally able to get the side shop cleared out to make room for the 4 post hoist. Getting too old to crawl under it yet be able to get back up again multiple times per day.
The core I started with.
Left sid of pic is the stock tubing location from Turbo's to IC.
Working alone needed a stand to hold the IC
Had to make some pretty major cuts in frame to get the core support in.

Before I forget the Bronco project for my daughter is still not finished. Still a month away most likely. So much for a simple 2 day paint job . .LOL
PUrchased a new core support to frame mounting.
What a jungle that was to get it to fit.
Its also mounting for the vacuum pump for power brakes.
Making the end tanks for the IC.
