Re: Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

I don't have the air intake even started just yet. The diesel doesn't mess with "fuel" grade hoses. However the veggie oil will mess with the rubber hoses. All the weep hoses for the injectors are viton, and the rest of the hoses are Parker Superflex. It holds up really well to bio fuels. I've added a few new pics. Only thing thats changed on the motor is all the weep lines are installed, using the original steel feed tube that runs across the engine. The dorman oil cooling lines are install, with a little bit of modification to get them around the frame. Fabbed up engine and trans oil cooling mount and installed. The engine oil lines are for all intents and purposes in the final resting place. I'm just going to install some loop straps to keep them there. I need to trim down the factory hard lines for the tranny, and just run new hose to the tranny cooler. Which I still need to get fittings for. So no start yet. Need to hook up the tranny cooler, add fluids, run some temp. wiring and fuses, and add fluids.
