Diesel Conversion

My vacation is coming to an end, and I'm happy to report that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on my diesel conversion. I'm not writing much of a story on it, but here's some photos so far...

Nope, I bid on the Porsche Intercooler but didn't get it. Thats an oil cooler from B&D Diesel. the intercooler will be from a 1990s Dodge Daytona when it arrives, but I'm gonna proceed without for now and do the intercooler and a snorkel in a month or two once everything else is done.

I noticed a few other things on the truck that have to be fixed before it goes on the road again too...

- A faulty steering rod from the box to the relay.
- worn out rubber frame bushing front left. will be replaced with neoprene like the rears.
- worn rear u-joints.
- two broken tranny mounts -- John and Karl were commenting last fall at Northwest Challenge that my exhaust was very wiggly. Guess that's why.

Last day of vacation is tomorrow, hopefully al the water and oil lines tightened and main battery cables and fuel lines installed, then who knows, it may actually get started up.

Thanks, Andrew for the tip on the wiring harness. I'll look into it tomorrow.

Hey Dave, looking good, I don't think I've ever seen so many hoses on one engine before, and thats before you've finished with the intercooler :shock:
