HOrnbrod Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Know you're still test fitting Bo, but am curious about your cooling plan. That mech fan look like it really sticks out. Are you going dual electric fans w. a custom radiator? Cowl hood would be good too for topside room. :cheers: Outstanding work as is your norm.

shelbyluvv Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks Chief, I am going to chop the front cross member out and mount the rad on the front side of the core support. I want to keep the fan and shroud if at all possible. I thought about a cowl hood. That would take away from my stock appearing look I am going for. The 6" lift and 33s are a little much but they work well on a LWB truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6" lift and 33s are a little much but they work well on a LWB truck. Understand. Frankly, I'm not crazy about the cowl hood look, but nothing I've tried helps cooling better. It adds more real estate in the engine compartment, and the venting really lowers the underhood temps, especially in stuck traffic. Well, you have a ways to go before you're ready for that. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It has been a little over 3 years since I sold Betty. She has been through at least 3 owners before she made it back into my hands. Special thanks goes to Dean for letting me buy the truck back and borrow his trailer to do it!For you factory black interior lovers please skip the next few pictures! One of the PO decided to "rice" out the interior and paint it.... RED I guess ruining a extremely rare dash and chucking a black bench was not enough. He decided to chop up the door panels too! I cannot stop looking at this. What kind of an idiot would do this and actually think it was going to be a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 The motor mount drop brackets worked perfectly. The hood clears everything very nicely now. I had to chop out the stock cross member. These things are super weak with that thing missing. I put this one in and gained some more room for a larger radiator. The next move is the trans mount and chopping a hole in the floor for the transfer to fit. EDIT: This should fill the hole left up front fairly nicely! $88 off Ebay. Two core aluminum radiator. It is the perfect size at 22 w x 19 h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I need to subscribe to this as I may be doing something similar in the near future...except with the Jeep 5.9L :brows: Could you show some closeup shots of the engine mounts you fabbed up? Are they in the stock MJ location or did you move them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I need a side view. I like the 97+ header panel and grill and the front bar looks good head on, but how does it mount? And how far does it stick out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymanrph Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Too bad you couldn't use my header, but the new style looks good. Shoot, I'd trade you for the the '97 because mine is red right now. Looks good; I like the bar, but can't say I'm too crazy about the eyelids or whatever you call em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I got a good bit of the mock up stuff done today. It got dark before I could snap any pics. I will try to get some in a few days. I got the Y-pipe installed, 231 is bolted to the 46RH, cross member and trans mount installed, and lastly I got the air cleaner modified and looks stock. Luckily I did not have to hack a hole in the floor. I have about 3/4" of clearance between the transfer and the floor. Little by little she is slowly coming together. I still have a long way to go. But, hopefully I will be driving it this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I got the wiring laid out in the engine bay. My plan to mount the CPU in the stock 86 location failed. There was not enough room to fit it between the dash and the firewall. I mounted it instead in the stock ZJ location. Right in front of the blower motor. I had to tilt it down just a hair to make room for the wiring and A/C if I choose to use it in the future. Anyone want a spaghetti dinner? the CPU I also got the PDC laid out And lastly the alt and starter wiring is done. Now that all that mess is figured out I can start soldering all them together to make one harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymanrph Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 That doesn't look like much fun. How much clearance are you going to have for your fans between the motor and radiator? It just looks kinda close in the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
