Well looks like they mounted the alt in the wrong place and I will have to get under the hood to shift gears.

Not to mention those little dolly wheels are going to make for a really stiff, wobbly ride.....Quote:

Your air cleaner is going to be hard to fit as well. I am serious about this:

We can "make" it fit under the hood. By cutting the housing away, shortening the hose and stuffing it next to the radiator about the same area it is in right now. But, if you see any 5 ton air cleaners sitting around, with the brackets. You might want to look at them and consider how one would look mounted on on top of the hood. Either that or think about a smaller cleaner element.
If we put in a civi heater how much room will be in front of it, under it, around it? Enough to get the air cleaner in?
I was also thinking of the small 24v M151 style self contained heater under the dash. That would free up that fire wall. Any idea which would be better?
PM me your shipping address so I can send you parts.
Tim - Sermis,
What about the hood mounted (stock) 715 air cleaner? Haven't gotten that far yet, but I have new one to install for my 4BT. Looks like it can be moved to the side some for additional clearance. 3" intake and output... not sure about the 6BT requirements.
Snuffy
I think the civilian heater is going to be out. Here is the room between the turbo and the firewall:

Here is a shot with the hood hinge in it so you can get a reference:

The exhaust has to come out the firewall side of the turbo. That part will work. No room for a heater though.
The air filter will work out without buying anything.
If you flip the exhaust manifold upside down, it will move your turbo out of the way of the heater box.Quote:

I have a couple killer air cleaners I picked up from Hammons. Send me a PM and remind me to post up pics. Do you know how to find out the required cfm of the motor, or how to figure how much a filter would flow?
