98' 24v--12v Conversion

[Cummnzpowr]

Here's some recent pics of my expensive 1998 dually 24 valve into a 12 valve conversion. The motor is coming out because of a cracked block,cracked exhaust manifold,dead VP-44,and previous owner's lack of intelligence More pics to follow this week sometime, we ran into a few snags about the correct wiring/plugs because it's a 96 215hp motor/harness going into a 98' truck with different PCM connectors. . fun fun. . check it out. .
