moving fast nows your chance to mount the pcm in the cab

[danger_ranger83]

i thought about that but as much as i have to move the motor back i kinda ran out of room for it

[danger_ranger83]

well i thought i had enough cut out...this is 3 inches back from the original location


since i had to move it back so far there is no way for me to have a heater so i removed the heater box from under the dash
this if a pic from the passenger seat through the glovebox

measure twice, cut once. keep at it, almost done. what are you gonna do as far as suspension to accomodate for the extra weight?

[danger_ranger83]

nothing...it sat lower with the 4 cylinder in it..kinda weird..and if it does sit lower then i wont have to buy lowering springs

[danger_ranger83]

Been a while thought I should update....
Firewall has been patched up, motor is mounted, transmission has been mounted, fuel lines are ran, and I just finished my wiring tonight. Main problem I ran into so far is exhaust....I have truck manifolds and they sit right on top of the frame so I think I'm gonna have some custom headers made but for now I'm just gonna run the manifolds upside down so I can thrash it

Well I don't have a camera so pics won't do much good...might have a vid tomorrow of first startup
