Finally got the motor on the stand, and mocked up the manifold and turbo.

 

Looks great. Looks like you are using an oil cooler adapter with the rwd filter housing?

Yes. I ran that setup on my talon, so I figured I would just transfer everything over.

 

Sweet project, I always wanted to try it with a dodge ram d50 lol. I have not noticed any mighty max's before. I'm from Canada They couldn't of been very popular over here.

 

That would be awesome...you would be able to get a 4wd option. Imagine the possibilities.

 

What do you plan on doing for a suspension setup?

Haven't really decided that yet. I have been throwing around some ideas, but until I talk to the guy that is notching my frame and building my cage I don't think I will be set on anything.

We might need to find a really wide road.

 

That looks dirty. What are you doing for an exhaust?

 

Probably just have it turn out behind the front passenger tire, or have a turn down after it clears the cab. Something short, and simple to deal with.

 

So I have decided to start tearing into the truck now. I ripped out the the old motor to give room for a little upgrade. I also power washed the engine bay and mounted the intercooler. I am very happy with the way this is starting out. Here are some pictures of the progress I am making.

After cleaning

Now some pictures of the intercooler in the truck. Haven't really mounted it, but this is pretty much exactly how it is going to fit.

All tucked up and hidden away.

 

Hell yea man, nice to see someone actually doing this.

 

You're going to surprise the hell out of anything you encounter on the street.

Also grabbed a ford 8.8 from the junk. Perches measure out the same so it looks like it should drop right in.

 

Cool project...i dunno, i think that rear might have to be narrowed a little bit. What kind of truck did it come out of? F150 or something like that???

 

Looks good. I always wanted a might max. Subscribed
