Thanks MB, has been quite a journey, but finally home. the enjoyment starts now.
I'm also pleased that the hood shuts, and it no longer has a scoop....
Sort of looks cool in my eyes.

OK time to post.

finally got the truck home after 36 months.
I'm happy with the truck, but not the time frame, although it doesn't drive well due to the 6L90 being in limp mode, and the...

I looked at my spreadsheet and with those tires and diff ratio, you should be doing 97km/h at 2000rpm, 120 reads 2500rpm.
would be interested if the spreadsheet is accurate.

Seems that the belt length might be a problem as I'm assuming the standard size increments might not work in our favor. Either too long or too short.
I'm not running a vac pump, and intend to run a...

Hi MB,

Have not looked into the oil capacity side of things just yet, the pic does make it look close tho.
I'm thinking that being flat on both bump stops might be enough, but will see when...

Hi PB, the bumpstop clearance is 25mm, the oilpan was modified by BD and it seems to fit, which is a miracle considering what Greg has supplied.
The hydo's would be an option as you can control the...

Update,

Pic to show the oilpan clearance. I'm happy with the way the oilpan clears, no issues when the springs are taken out and the chassis is on the bump stops.
Pic to show the exhaust, will be...

Good to hear that it's alive...
Noisy and harsh, that is something that would bother me. Maybe not the noise, it is a big V8 diesel after all.
Be patient and get all the ancillaries on and sorted...

Update time.

Engine location 2.0 is now final.
Oilpan to axle housing clearance is good, engine to dash panel is good, and engine fan to radiator is good.
Supercharcharger to hood panel is...

Engine location 2.0:

Yes I'm very much keeping an eye on the oilpan to diff clearance, no suspension limiting for me! I'll modify the oilpan if needed.
Engine position 2.0 will happen this week to confirm final...

Alright, time for an update:

The engine has been trial fitted into the engine bay and positioned as per the Marks adaptors bits.
I'm not happy with the location, so, the position will be revised...

Update time:

Engine is together after the gear drive and fluid damper update.
Trans is trial fitted to engine and "beaming bracket" design has commenced.
Existing engine mounts removed from...

Don't know, I'm assuming that they will be the same size as yours.

I'm not doing anything behind the scenes.
Saw this pulley, but, 6 holes means it won't fit.
Oh well, need to keep looking.
Got back from 2 weeks in Darwin, so will check up on progress this week....
