Main harness is weeded out. I will loom it up after I make sure everything works as it should.

Yesterday was poke a hole in the oil pan day. After researching several ways to do it, I decided to drill a small pilot hole and use increasingly larger punches to stretch the hole until it was the right size to tap with a 1/2" NPT tap. Worked really good! I am very happy with the results. I will add some sealer, tighten it up and it should be good to go.

Hot side is finished and installed. Still need to make a down pipe, but that won't really be a big deal. Last pic is a little out of focus, but shows how well it tucks up under there while still allowing access to the starter, oil pan, and converter bolts.

Played with some cardboard to get a basic down pipe idea. the temptation to turn it up through the hood is tempting, but I think I really want it pointed down or down and back.

Thank you for not following the Sloppy Mechanics route and poking a hole in the hood... although a flapper would be pretty funny. That's gonna be making steam soon!
I wonder if the diesel shop guys have 4" turns laying around for that downpipe.Last edited by Beagle; May 1, 2019, 01:55 PM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

It's 5"! Haha.
I ordered a 90 deg bend with 18" legs and 2 36" sections of pipe. Should be enough to get it about where I want it.
I considered running it through the fender or just dumping it right behind the front tire, but that would probably be stupid loud. I think I am going to run it back and put a 5" resonator muffler on it because some streetcar-style races around here require exhaust past the firewall and a muffler, even for turbo cars/trucks.
I try to do at least one little thing to it every day. I like to say "I didn't do much, but it was more than nothing".Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

Holy cow this stuff is big. Stapler for scale. Haha. Bought these aluminized parts from ebay seller "truck-trailer-direct". Very good prices, and free shipping. They got here quick too.

Friday evening I built the down pipe. It seems straight forward, but was a little tricky. The sheer size of the pipe made it difficult to cut with my chop saw and it is hard to just grab it and hold it with one hand. It needed one small dent to clear the cab mount a little better, but that's no big deal.

Idk. Currently debating whether I should go ahead and put the front end back on before breaking in the cam, or just trying to cobble everything up to make it run.
Starting to think I will just put the nose back on just so I am not making extra work for myself.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

This is one of the threads I get an email when there is an update. I always read updates. I don't reply when I can't think of anything helpful or "funny"Last edited by Russell; May 7, 2019, 04:46 PM.
