Looks great Darrin!

So why haven't you let the rest of the world know???? You remember us, the IDI guys


Yea I was gonna post it in the IDI section but figured it should be in the Cummins section, I knew it would get found!

Any how Darrin looks good and with it lookin more orange and blak then black and red it'll go better in a black truck so I'll be up this weekend to pick it up

Hey if your gonna come up, make it next weekend Feb 9th, then you can help pull the motor out of Big Ed,...Good luck leaving with the Cummins,..:D
Let me know when you are ready and I will help you find one,...

Thanks Geo,...

I really like my C6/Gearvendors setup. The trans is built good and tight with firm shifts, the GV gives me flexability and it is basicly a bullet proof setup as well. I do plan on installing a floor shifter so I can shift manually, and a tow RV torque converter with a lower stall for better takeoffs.

I don't know enough about a FASS system, what do it do,..? I will have to do some research.

The stock rad should work, and yes I would like to try electric fans, you know a guy,..? ;Really

I got the motor cleaned, painted and polished, ready to install in Big Ed.

While the motor was on the stand I did the following,..

1, Killed the Dowl Pin
2, 3200 Govenor Spring
3, Smokey power pin
4, an obvous good cleaning!

It already has bigger injectors, and turbo housing on the intake, just not the exhaust side. I still want to make a heat shield for the turbo out of Diamond Plate aluminum, it is ready to cut but I don't have my saw here at the shop, hope to get that done tomorrow.

Amyway here are the pics,..

What did you say that color was?

That looks a lot like second place red to me.

The Diamond plate that I used was from my old tailgate protector and was pretty beat up. so I decided to use the smooth side out so it matched the rest of the polished aluminum. Plus with the diamond plate on the inside it will dissapate the heat more effectavly,...Ok I made that up but it sounds good.
