Re: 87 Chevy Crew Cab 4x4 Converion/Cummins swap

Haven't driven the truck all week. Decided I was going to try and get this HX35 put on and plumb up the charge cooler setup. Figured I would start on the turbo side since there was a little more going on there than intake side. Got the turbo on and clocked, a little massaging of the passenger inner fender and it was good. Put the intake ram on the other side and wouldn't ya know it hits my brake master. Scoured the web looking at pics of other conversions and I guess just my luck with engine placement theres no room and no way to make it work. Went down to the cummins shop near me and scoured through their misc pieces trying to find a different elbow and just wasn't coming up with anything. So I got a hold of a piece of 3" J bend stainless pipe and made up my own! Its not welded to the flange yet in this pic but heres what I came up with.



Hopefully finish that up tonight, planning monday to go back down to the shop and check my timing and some other things and get it running better.
