cuting firewall
Hello,
I need to cut out some of the fire wall to accomadte a new engine. I could probably leave it alone, but if something ever happened and I needed to remove the engine I would hate to find out things are too tight. what if anything do I need to watch for?

Wow, if you have to cut the firewall for engine in one of these trucks, it must be a weird engine combination for sure.

Yukon Jack had to massage his firewall to accommodate the BB. Do a search… oh wait there isn’t one.

When you cut the firewall, look at where your heater stuff in the cab is so you make sure that won't cause interference. Also look to see if it will interfer with how your gas pedal is situated.
