Its getting a 320cc roosamaster pump with 4x18 injectors plus the HX52 off my dodge.
 
O and i made the front engine mounts so it bolts into the stock 301 engine holes that are in the frame rails.
 
Thanks!

Here's more pics...

It will have rack and pinion steering too.

The turbo will sit where the battery use to also.
 
I also have a set of the small pin rods that have been heat and cryo treated that i pretty much stole. lol The guy was getting out of the allis pulling and had this set never been used for $350 bucks. So i couldnt pass that up.
 
Rear end will be fine. I will be putting the 180 final drives and axle's in it to beef them up alittle. I wont be pulling in the heavier weight classes just the 5500, 6500 and 7500 classes. its not really just the Hp and torque that kills parts, its the weight.
