A small update. I'm slowly getting all of the parts together to get this swap properly underway very soon. I imagine it'll still be a month out, but I'm making progress. I removed the 5.9 from the donor truck and have been getting it stripped down, ready to clean up and freshen up.
I went a bit nuts and ordered a ton of parts from Power Driven Diesel. I ordered their 500hp kit along with their AFC Live. I'm not going to make 500hp with the smaller injection pump on this '94 5.9 but we'll see how it does in the long run. STILL waiting on the bigger turbo and some of the gaskets and internal parts I ordered.
Still need to order engine mounts, bellhousing, input shaft, exhaust (going to use a 4" Diamond Eye kit for a 6.5 and a 4" HX40 downpipe). I'll end up ordering ARP head studs as well since just going back with new head bolts is still ~$150!
When I picked up the donor truck I was offered a '79 Ford Dana 60 high pinion front axle and the Sky Offroad kit to fit my truck. The seller had the same plans I do but ended up selling his truck before beginning the project(s). I won't do the SAS anytime before next summer, but ultimately it'll get the Dana 60 up front.
A quick update, but there it is. Once I have all of the parts I KNOW I'll need on-hand and ready to go, the 454 will come out and we'll get things started. I'm still waiting on a buddy to get one of his project cars out of my garage before I can really get things started anyway.
