Is there a secondary market for these yet? Looks like an amazing package in terms of size, weight, power density, etc. And for a modern diesel - having all the stuff on top means it has to be fit together in a complex Tetris kinda way - but it also means that you can access it all without having to pull the engine out or the cab off. From my perspective that's excellent. Half the work on a powerstroke requires pulling a cab off, meaning I can't do it at home. On these engines - at least visually it looks like you could pull the EGR off to clean it relatively easily in your own garage without needing to do things like evac and split the AC system. Taking more stuff off the engine for me is more accessible than taking a cab off. And it looks like it would physically fit in about any typical engine bay.
 
What a yuck engine conversion into the 105, interesting for interests sake, but why? Would rather a 1HDFTE any day of the week, especailly with the increasing reports of broken F33AFTV's coming up. A 1HDFTE conversion is basically bolt in with factory parts until you start chasing big power.
