Hey guys big lurker and read as much as I can. Y'all are awesome here

Just wanted to post about my current project.

'41 Plymouth 2 door sedan.
Frame is from a '76 d100 old navy truck
'90 12 valve - pump mods already done
727 tranny ....
4 link triangulated suspension in the back
Still need to order springs for the front (heavy pig) lol
Channeled around 8" and slammed as much as I could.

Let me know what you guys think

Still need to fit the fenders so I can get the exhaust in the right spot. It should come out the fender just a little. Maybe a flapper with a 5" tip

Yea it's shoe horned in there pretty good. I tried to get the clutch fan off but it's a little hard to when there's no belt on. Anyone know which way to crank it off ?? I'd like to finish up the radiator mount.
 
Pretty sure up until 2003, the dodge fan assemblies were left-hand thread. Cool build!
 
I use a big pair of channel locks to hold the fan pulley tight and use the proper sized wrench on the nut. I made a custom wrench out of some 1/4" flat stock about 24" long. IIRC, the nut is 36mm or 39mm. Sometimes have to use a small, 8lbs. sledge on the wrench to break it loose.

^^^ thanks for the tip. Keep you guys updated.
Glad you guys like it. Got my wire harness the other day so that's the next thing to tackle after I mount the radiator. Not much left on the to-do list. Hope to have this thing running soon.
 
Good thing is, you only need 1 wire to keep it running after it's fired!
 
^ I know. I read a ton about the wiring on the motor and what was needed. Glad it's as simple as it is. That's why I love these fourms. So much info you can search and soooo many people that have the know how.

My friend that I got the motor is a HUGE cummins guy and knows his stuff too wich is good. I got a lot of other parts from Junkers he's got behind his shop. And he's just up the road from my house.

Thanks agin for the help guys. I will try to keep the pic coming too. Everyone love pics. Lol.
My friends twin turbo 3500. Thing is soooo sweet. Big money and huge power.

Looking great!

My advice on wheels, stay away from the mainstream diesel choices. Still 5 lug?
