well time to do a build thread and to give thanks.
So last september the truck,5.9 then, dropped a valve seat and took out the head, turbo and piston. I then decided to build a 6.7 bottom and drop a 5.9 head on it. Many thanks to Rivey and Les on turbo choice, ashley for helping me decide on carrillos instead of 12v rods, and all the others who gave input and suggestions as i was gathering parts. The biggest thanks goes to Bponci for all his help, work, and being there through the whole build, and his patience when the parts i dropped off didnt fit the bill. Brad's attention to detail is second to none and his work was far better than i could have imagined. The truck was dropped off on a flatbed tow truck with the motor half taken apart, cab full of boxes of parts and bed full of used parts.
The new motor is a 6.7 block, Carrillo rods, hami 188/220 cam, 250hp ish injectors, max spool push tubes, comp ported head from zz fab, zz ab side drat intake, 75/96/1.10 T4 turbo from Rivey, steed manifold, JGS 60mm gate,6.7 marine pistons,fluidampr, twin cp3's 6.7 under dmax, and udc tuning by Gecovey.
Rod at S&H machine did all the machine work and balanced everything, this man is a true craftsman in his work and is passionate about doing things the way he would do them for his own motor. Machine work was done in extremely short time and i am very thankful for him squeezing my work in his very busy schedule.
Working with Brad and Rod were like working with family, also let with a smile on my face and confidence in how the work was being done. Due to my job and lack of space Brad Ponci did all motor assembly and all fab work and the install.
Ok enough with the jibber jabber,time for pictures.
The broken 5.9
