Project is officially been dealt to anothers hands. Hopefully he enjoys the hard work.and finishes what I decided was just no longer interesting to finish. Thanks for following along and big things for the vehicle I'm getting in return!

SAM, i played in hondas for a few years so if i would be so glad to give you as much advice on this motor as i can. in the end it will save you heartache. if interested send me a PM and ill give you a quick run down.

Threw the cab on the frame to just get an idea and waiting for someparts and free time to continue the chop and suicide doors. Hopefully soon things start clicking. Going to finish building up the motor this next week so that's somethng to look forward too...stay tuned...

i think a strip of 1'' 1/8 metal will flex enough but will bend uniformly with the roof contour and give me the shape and support i want.

I'll try that, ill bend some metal to the curve I want and use wood to push it up and start welding in place, wish me luck

Well slow going still. Waiting on everything thru mail and finishing my CDL school. I did fix the front pillar tho. Come to find out trying to spot weld it I found the weak spot the previous owner welded and grinder etc. I zapped at it to see how much burnt up and thru in a lil filler piece...

On a cummins yes. I meant the idea of turbos feeding a roots blower. Love the build and idea!!

You would be amazed at how often this is actually being done! I have seen a handful but never a compound diesel! Looks damn good! [dr

I can move it forward the 5" and get that room in the cab back plus still have the motor mounted behind the front crossmember. So would still be back in the frame but here it will be more roomier all around with relocating forward that little bit. Yes the cab was frustrating as all hell. I...
