ISO: Front left door panel trim piece. Mine has some cracks and two broken areas. Part shown in red.

I welded up the intake adapter on the motor. I know its crappy but I was in a hurry.

Hey William839 Here's my intercooler info. A local exhaust did it with exhaust tubing and welded the intercooler pipe ends from the dodge to the exhaust tubing to adapt it for the three inch tubing.

I'm watching. I'm about to setup a dakota digital box in mine. I would to see what conclusion is made on your project. I will study EWD and see if I can figure out anything.

My FSS was about 1/2” from my brake master so I deleted it and added a FSC (fuel shutoff cable) similar to an old tractor. I’ll post up the model number for the intercooler I bought from summit racing and add some photos. The pipes will fit...

I think what you heard was me trying to find gears. The trans was hard to shift. I’ll be trying to tweak the clutch setup and inspect the trans. I’ll post some photos of the intercooler setup. I had the muffler shop that built the exhaust add...

I had a minor set back today on the cruiser build. I was hoping to test drive it this weekend but may not have it ready. Right hand trigger finger will be out of commission for a while after a screw extractor bit snapped when I put the muscle to...

I decided to install some bolts around my batteries to keep them stationary. I had some stainless steel rod laying around and put my granddad's 70 year old die set to use. I cut some stainless steel tabs and welded to the rod and drilled holes...

Seat belt maintenance: My seat belts were nasty and not working. After checking prices on new ones, I found a repair video. It was super simple to remove the lock and remove the seat belt strap. I threw them in a sink and washed with water...

Let me know if you find some for sale. I’m looking as well.

Thank you for sharing that!! Do you use the dodge fan or modify one to slim it down?

What's your intended use of the vehicle? A 1HD-FTE with manual trans would be my choice, hands down, IF money was no object. In NA support and parts will be limited, so the cost will be high. The engine and frame, suspension etc were...

+1 for om606. You can’t go wrong with one of those, plenty of power and pretty good gas mileage.

Om606 or om605. Mate it up to a 6l80 with a manual valve body and go party

The thing that I immediately noticed was the intercooler setup since I'm dealing with that right now. The older style injector pump definitely is easier to work around due to the injector lines being routed differently. Thank you for posting...

The cooling system is just that a system of components that hopefully work together to achieve the goal of keeping the vehicle components within a normal operating zone. In theory you can have a radiator so big that it doesn't need a fan and...

With the current motor mounts, the center diff seems to sit in the original position. The center diff can be shifted back. I think if you go too far, the fuel tank may come into play. The motor can be shifted back, especially with a body lift...

Ya'll have convinced me. The electric fans can be temporary. I'll pull them out down the road and mount a mechanical fan. I can build a radiator setup around the fan as a later modification.

10,000 cfm is good to know. I’ve not been able to find the specs for the dodge fan to make a comparison between electric vs mechanical.

Electric fans are about 1/2 of one HP max. Mechanical fan is 10+ HP when the clutch engages.

Some of the 6BT swap guys position the engine slightly closer to the firewall, which probably frees up space at the radiator. I think it’s a combination of body-lift and “massaging” the trans tunnel to gain the extra room. To me, it’s worth the...
