finished the down pipe today, i just took the old 7.3 down pipe out and adapted a 5.9 downpipe to the rest of the exhaust, it took a little cutting and welding but it fits good now, i will have to get pics later because the wife had the camera

she is doing well, she is still pretty emotional but that is to be expected our other kids keep her occupied and we are getting back into a new routine.

It is getting closer, i installed the new 6.0 radiator and fan shroud with Adens 7.3 fan hub adapter (the upper radiator brackets are for mock up, the factory ones should be in this week, power steering resevoir is installed, i had to make the bracket but it turned out well, i also got the batteries installed and the intake in for fitment, nor i have to conetrate on a couple brackets to support the intake and get the coolant surge tank installed when it shows up, I want to say a special thanks to Steel and Aden at GOS performance and Dawna and Ken at Autoworld with out them this would the conversion would have been a lot harder.

Come on Jon!! I got mine running finally :wiggle

There are a few things I want to change but I got it running. I don't like my intake, but I wanna do twins as soon as I get together more funds and get ahold of Steel to do them.

Any updates Jon?

I got about 700 miles on mine.. Only a few minor things I had to address, but running great otherwise!

I just installed a rail pressure guage.. Only thing I could find to match my black faced Dipricol Optix was a PPE guage but it looks good.
