- Thread starter dirtydmax
- Start date
I think I might do the alt and a couple other things,I like the bare metal look but it weathers so fast it takes too much up keep,Stock Motor is coming out today so I should have the built one in this week.After all the work its nice to hear it looks good and thanks everyone for the encouragement and compliments
Haha.My wife said this morn(OH MY GOD)Your going grey and its that damn truck that did it,I said no its my mistress that did that...Duramaxine
Just out of curiosity, who did your short block keith? once i get mine all assembled itll have to go out and get balanced but no where up here does anything like that
Finally where it belongs!Just waiting on fuel lines and fittings and should be able to fire next wknd,After all the bs with this build I am glad its almost wraped up...for now.Attachments

Just finishing up -6 turbo feed lines and should be ready for first start and I will post a video.Never thought I would be this nervous:baby:
Make sure you clearance your cab just a touch. The drivers side up pipe on the Kodiak's will hit the cab when the engines torques over. I just reached up there with a pry bar and massaged the cab lightly.
Man that looks intense! That takes some skill to fab together your own kit and in a pretty tight area too :thumb: I cant wait to hear it run, and a good test vid!

Haha,it took a loooong time to figure out and put together,I hope the first start up goes smooth cuz im 95% skeeered shitless and the other 5 pumped, there is just so much going on.Thanks burndown for the kodiac mani tip,It sure is tight back there so I spent the afternoon gently beating the shit of the wall for some clearance and with the kodiac mani's the dipstick wont fit between the block and pipe.How did yours fit?
You know Josh H was asking that same question awhile back... Mine fits fine between the block and the manifold. I'll see If I can find the pic I posted in that thread.
