Currently this is where I am at on the project. The engine and trans are installed and the motor mounts and trans crossmember are tacked in place. I have the radiator sitting in place with most of my issues worked out on my hoses and clearance. I also fabbed an A/C compressor bracket and pulley that is in behind the fan and have that in place and hooked up. The tunnel is all tacked in as well as the firewall has been modded slightly to clear the exhaust where it comes off the turbo to go down under the truck. I have my air intake worked out as well. I had mounted a power brake booster and master to the firewall before I found out that diesel engines do not make vacuum. That is a new one on me. I ended up reworking the bracket for the Hydroboost and I have it mounted to the firewall and all hooked up too. Most all of the hard stuff is now down and I really am not lacking to much more work to be ready to tear it all down and make the final welds and paint the chassis etc.
