Bushings DOM sleeve is 3inches (sleeve) and the poly stick out about a quater inch each side.

Springs are 52" chevy

Thanks for the info, this is the same setup I'm going with on my frame. Just didn't know how long to cut the DOM sleeve. Do you think there is enough room to move the rear shackle hanger back so the front mounts don't have to be all the way at the end of the frame, or did you do that for approach angle??

Yes you can move them back. I was using 52 chevy springs and it made sense for me to outboard them a bit.

Well I have fired another employee and am down 2 now. Progrees has been made although a bit slow.

Front spring hangers are fully welded andre-enforced. Got the steering column I am going to use with a steering shaft.

Intercooler is on the way after my friend graciously let me use several of his for mock up.

Radiator is being looked at. Candidate number one should be here today.

To do: Remount and weld radiator core support for new unit. Re assemble motor once head is back from getting o ringed. Fab PS gear box mount and connect steering. Theh hard mount motor for good and start fabbing hot pipe for compound turbos. Need to see how the exhaust is going to run so the transmission and xfer cradles can be fabbed aroud the path.

Great build ! I am definately interested in the motor mounts your friend is making. I plan on putting a 92 BT into my M715. Any headway on those?

[tndonor]

Well all I can say is they are weld in as there are several mounts to use with the Cummins. He is finishing up a few conversions/projects. Ill let those who are interested know after a little R and D.

[CE_TX]

Interested in seeing the motor mounts as well.

[tndonor]

Ill have some more pictures up soon. I cant take close ups of the mounts yet. Hopefully my friend will start making these. He sell Cummins conversion mounts for Chevy and GMC trucks. As this is his livelihood, I have to respect that and wait on his word to do so.

Oh yeah......just bought an industrial Warn 12000 winch for the rear!!!!!
