Alright ladies and gentlemen. Motor finished today picking up tomorrow from machine shop.

 

For those that possibly wonder, i did not what so ever go with OEM on majority of the parts. only the vital stuff, i went in IMO with a more proven company in terms of advance tech and materials. top to bottom i went with Mahle/clevite. F1 tech and never had any issues with the brand.

 

Still waiting on few things for motor to go in but my arb bumper came in. Super excited!

 

Had some unforseen circumstances happen but back on track. I'll be back to my buddy's shop once we get the wiring sorted for the fans. Then adding the arb bumper. Still need to get a angle grinder...

 

Finally got it running runs like a champ, but ran into issues with the transmission lines and the connectors. The radiator end stripped so I ordered a hayden external cooler, changing the fan set up up front from the massive 16inch spal down to the oem spal 10 inch from a 09+. That way I can run 2 stage fan and external cooler. Here is pick of current set up and my fan shroud. With the new Stat up top cools way way better.

 

Secure/protect those +hot wires properly! 🔥

 

No worries that was just to test the fan lol, im redoing the whole harness

 

You had to install trans cooler line connectors? Usually they are already in the radiator and all you need is to snap the lines into the speed clips??? Anyways, lookin good!

 

Aldo waiting on pcm of north Carolina to send me back my ecu, there was an error but they are correcting the tune.

 

Alternator set up is 240amp unit and I created my own cables.
