That's a sweet setup!

 

Thats sweet!!!! I would have kept the 10sp though.

 

The 10sp just didn't have enough OD for me.and I couldn't get eny one else to drive when we were comming home from a pull if I got tired.and I'm hopeing to get 30mpg with the extra OD form a .80 to a .62 is a big difference
and I'm getting old and lazy.

have the ht60b turbo done it is set for the varible exhaust valve.this will make the turbo spool much faster.i old tractor puller made one just like I did or I made it like he did 40yrs ago.he use a throttle cable to pull the valve shut when the turbo started to loose boost at the end of the track.he shut the valve and the turbo would keep spooled.


The other flap to the back of the houseing I made into a exhaustbrake with a Bimba 2way air cyl.

this is the Cat TPS for the alison

 

I repolished the intake it was alittle naste sitting for almost a year.

The acturator for the exhaust valve is very close to the intake I didn't think it would be that bad.



I wraped the crome elbow to keep the heat off of the air cyl.have 2 layers.

I put another crossmember by the radiator to mount the tranycooler it is a hydrolic cooler from a old redimix truck.I don't remember what the powerstearing cooler came from I thind a superduty ? the air horns are off of a peterbuilt with a electric sylinoid 120lb of air it is loud make the woman jump at astop light when they not paying attention when the light turn greene.

looking good, interested in seeing how the allison works out...

 

I got the fan shroud done saturday.I had to use the bed of the truck to bend the sheetmetel kind of crude but it worked.My wife had to give me a helping hand holding the parts in place while I clamped things together to bend them.She gave me permision to buy a brake from Harborfreight.I'm useing the electronic relay from the ford car to turn the fan on I need to pick up a temp sensor for a 05 ford car.

 

AC condensor mounted waiting for the dryer and compressor.

This is a closeup picture of the fan reley from the ford car.

Picked up a power stearing resevor it was brush finnished I had to polish it after i made all the brakets and ran the hoses.Only had one return line so I picked up a fuel block to run the 2 3/8 into a 1/2 then went to the cooler then to the resevor.




I polished the air gov for good messure


Dale

 

I went to the parts store to get a temp,sending unit for the 2005 ford car that the fan came from it was almost 60.00 the parts book didn't have the temp, listed for the sensor.
i ended up getting a Hayden universal unit it is adjustable from 215 to 165deg.I used it inconjucktion with the ford reley.


The valve for the valiegh switch

I made the dipstick tube out of the original one from the 06chevy I cut off the bottom "3 after it came out of the trany and cut the tube off of the top 6" and used 5/8 air line and slid the air line into the original tipstick tube then used heat shrink to seal them together.

i used part if the original bracket that held the tube to the bellhousing on the chevy did some beating with a hammer and welded it in place.

The 06 chevy stearing columb peice that coverd shifter will work for a mold for my stock Ford columb with some modifications.


I might use the key hole for the exhaust brake switch.
Think I going to mount the TCM and BCM on a plate under my center consol above my radio amp,

Or does enyone think the amp.mite cause a problem with the TCM and BCM.

Dale

 

.I finally got all but one plug for the BCM.We hooked the EFI up to the TCM lastnight and it was able to read and flash it just fine. will post some more pictures later.going to install the harness today and connect the wires from the columb.
Dale

 

TCM



Ready for installation.:woohoo:


Dale

 

hopefully I got the plug sealed up I used some apoxy that a freind of mine got for me.it is used to seal phone connections.Made by Huntsman looks like JB weld.






I used a vacum pump to try to pull the opoxy down into the plug.
I made a block to conect some positive and neg.




Dale
