C'mon, get it figured out - gotta be a nice setup!

This should be good

Be patient I am trying again, bone head computor 101, I had to resize the photo's. Hope this works.

note that front clearance was minimal since I left the original diesel noise shielding on the firewall. I am running a 19" flex fan with a custom adapter, dodge radiator, modified dodge fan shroud and stock dodge intercooler plumbing.

on the right side of picture you can see a chevy clutch master cylinder from a 92 6. 5 with 5 speed nvg 4500. I adapted the gm line to fit the dodge slave cylinder- result is a real easy clutch pedal with the centerforce dual friction clutch, I am also very pleased with this clutch, plowing through 2 feet of snow in 2nd gear 4hi at wot and clutch hooks great!

if you look close you will see that the intercooler is on the outside,for better charge air cooling, the a/c condenser is in the stock location. Summertime cooling while towing in 100 degree temps could be better. I would either like a larger fan or maybe find a different offset pulley for the fan. A tech at cummins says there are 3 different heights of fan pulleys available with the dodge using the lowest of the lot.

a glimpse at the intercooler inlet that was cut off and swapped side to side, then rewelded for clearance of the radiator support

tight clearance for the exhaust brake to the a/c evaporator

custom passenger side motor mount, notice the notch in the frame for a/c compressor and reiforcement on outside of frame rail

205 chevy transfercase with dodge input and custom adapter, this is after I stripped the 1 3/8 32 spline gm output and transfercase input twice in 15,000 miles. Now I have full splined dodge output 1 1/2 29 spline.

Wow I am impressed. That is an awesome job. I think I would be totally confused if I saw/heard that on the street and didn't know better

Like George Peppard usta say "I love it when a plan comes together!"



Great job - be interested in your analysis after you have spent some time down the road!

I havew been seriously considering doing this for a while now. How long did it actually take you and do you think the final package was worth the effort (i. e. would you do it again?)?
