jeremy, i dont know right off but i will get back to you on that.

[jbclassix]

Thank you! And the burb is looking great!

[Coboyle04]

Jeremy, the bracket is from an industrial application motor, working on a part number for you.

[Coboyle04]

and thanks for the positive comments you guys.

[Coboyle04]

the previous accessory/tensioner bracket pictured does not work as it blocks a coolant port at the top of the motor....here is the progress on the new bracket we are machining.

[Coboyle04]

here is a customed machined swivel port for the coolant, it will mount between the accessory bracket and the motor.

metal candy!

[Coboyle04]

i have finally bolted the body to the frame....it is comming together!

some more headway in the machining department... the adapters are about finished and the gear has been mounted to the PS pump which will run directly from the cam shaft

words cant explain how badass this build is,
iv been looking for 4bt locally to swap out in my truck but they are hard to find.

love the truck, very beautiful

it is a factory cummins adapter
you can see the part numbers in the these pictures
i think it is tree parts

[Coboyle04]

well i think it is the adapter.....i will check, you see i am not the one doing the machining work.

[jbclassix]

Cool man! I would love to find the part numbers for that so i can ditch ny vacuum pump!

well the push rod for the brake has been adapted with an adjustable fitting to better reach the pedal. and finally mounted. we bench bled the master cylinder and then the brakes. only 2 leaks so far. i expect more leaks when the motor is running and the hydro boost pressure is applied to the brakes.
also mounts and brakets are in process for the radiator and intercooler. should be done this week, fingers crossed!
and finally here is a picture of the grid heater for extreme cold weather starts.

the last picture is an eyelet for hoisting the motor in the future as well as a solid anchor for aligning the accessory bracket and coolant intake port.

alternator if here...we will be adding an after market internal regulator to it.
had some trouble getting the right mounting pads for the radiator, now that we have them it is time to make the mounting brackets.

also have all the tubing bends and connectors for the intercooler, etc...

really beginning to come together.

looking good Chuck, that will be on the road soon.

[Coboyle04]

hey did you enter your truck into the hot rod show this weekend?

[scotts72heavyhalf]

No, still working on it a bit, final cut and buff and a few more billet pieces on order. Working on the shop too.

Nice work! Subscribed!

[Coboyle04]

well subscribers...stay tuned we should have the intercooler/radiator installed this week, following that the install if the accesory bracket with alternator, ac compressor, ps pump, etc....

we did not expect to have as much room as we do between the motor and radiator and had planned to squeeze an electronic fan.....with the room we now have we will install a mechanical fan instead wich will run off the fan belt. never had much luck with the elctric ones anyways.

hope to have some more pictures for you soon.

[Coboyle04]

power steering pump is installed and lines are nearly finished being routed....a couple of mods need to be made with the tube bends.

the coolant intake is installed and ready as well as the water pump.

the mout for the mechanical fan is here.

[Coboyle04]

the lower mount for the intercooler/radiator is complete-minus the paint.

final mods to the intercooler are being made. the port wasnt in a great location.

The passenger side port on the radiator was a little too close to the inner fender so we had to notch it out.

[blfuller123]

This is really an amazing build you have here!!!

[Coboyle04]

forgot to post this one....more pics to come soon....we hope to fire it up for the first time by monday
