Finally making some actual progress as best as my schedule allows. First picture is the Cummins all done, less the accessory bracket. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Can't wait to see how much power it actually makes with all of the upgrades.
Got the 454 out last Monday, sold it today. The clutch, flywheel and bellhousing are available if anyone needs them. The clutch is still in fantastic shape.
I need to make a couple modifications to the truck in preparation for setting the engine in. The factory mount pads needed to be trimmed down a bit to make room for the oil pan. I also had to countersink a few of the front diff bolts to make room. I also had to make a few relief cuts in the trans tunnel/firewall and fold back the seam where the two come together.
I still need to drop the transmission and then degrease/paint the bay and frame before I start fitting the Cummins. Once the motor is sitting where the mounts locate it, I'll get the transmission bolted up to it and see how far back it will need to go. I'll have to drill new mounts for the trans/xfercase crossmember and extend the factory shifter hole back a little bit.
That's where I'm at currently. I'm very happy that much of the wiring mess won't be reused. I labelled everything as I unplugged things but I believe I'll just reuse the oil pressure sending unit and coolant temp sensor plugs.
