goin a different direction with the turbos. took of the ht3b and put on a s480

Knuckledragger- are you still in the market for a different D60? I know a guy who has hiboy 60s, which is what you'd want. I can also tell you that the D80 model you should be looking for is an 80 out of a cab and chassis. I don't have mine completely bolted up yet in my '94 Ford, but just need to move the spring perches an inch outward on each side and all should fit nicely.

 

[Knuckledragger]

ya i still need one. i like to get rid of my 44 first. havent found a buyer yet.

 

[asauer]

Yeah, I can't help ya much on that lol. But if you need one, PM me and I will give you the guy's number. I'm just south of Fort Wayne FYI.

 

[Knuckledragger]

how much is he askin for the 60?

 

[haloman]

Do you need a particular type of D60? I know a guy in Henderson that has one out of a Dodge 2500.

 

[Knuckledragger]

Made any progress lately? Let me know I have about 400+ pics of my conversion

 

[Knuckledragger]

i got a couple things acomplished, just havent got them on here yet. id like to see a couple pics though

 

[Knuckledragger]

needed some room so i got creative with a hammer

 

[Knuckledragger]

i had to cut the floor for my down pipe to have enough clearance. i took a hard look at the factory firewall and went crazy with a plasma cutter. the original was rough and had a couple holes punched through for some gauge pressure lines. i figured some fresh skin and some clearance couldnt hurt so...

 

[Knuckledragger]

the primary discharge was a little high and wide when i first mocked it up. i wanted to see how it would fit without doing any cutting. i reworked it so it would be a little tighter to the turbo and sit lower. in one of the pics you can see a bit of the priamry support.
