Did you get up getting the engine set back in the firewall?

not yet still waiting for shop to let me bring it lol

 

[KurtECV]

Oh damn lol. Hopefully soon. Wheeling season is just around the corner

This thread is giving me all kinds of ideas. What a sweet build.....late to this party....

Def going to steal the later gen air intake idea....

The LQ4 is a fine engine, so much so UPS runs these 6.0's in their fleets, among other commercial applications too. Strong and uber reliable.

I've been looking for a 2013-14 2500 GMC truck for a replacement for our work trk, just because of that engine and trans combo, and I'm not a GM dude by any means, but when something works, gotta give it credit.

 

[KurtECV]

I have mine set in place now, getting the trans packaged up tonight to send to my buddies to finish being built, i did most of the work but he is more into internal trans mods than i am so i am going to let him finish it while i work on the long list of other things

 

[daygor87]

Thinking about parting it out tired of waiting if I do part will be keeping engine

located in San Diego if anyone local is interested

 

[fordpickupman]

Dang, hate to see that happen.

 

[KurtECV]

Yeah that sucks. I was hoping to see that thing running. I am close to getting mine started up

 

[mounty71]

Don't part it out, finishing it will be totally worth the wait. Unfortunately building as well as maintaining these trucks takes a lot of patience. What are you waiting on?

[daygor87]

I always wanted a ranger (Since I had to sell my old one in attached pic ) but the explorer was a good deal to pass up lol

you still want the bezel for the gauges lol ?

 

[daygor87]

vehicle was parted out if anyone is interested in gauge setup its up for grabs 700 shipped
All Autometer pro-comp gauges
speedo is GPS
will include temp sender and oil sender
located in San Diego

 

[BKennedy]

That gauge cluster looks really nice in the old school Explorer dash. I was always wondering if I swapped in a supercharged 3800 GM V6 (I have a 60* 700R4 that shares the same bell housing) what I would do about gauges to keep the original dash. Nice job. Too bad you parted it out though.

So do you have a 91-94 Explorer transmission crossmember that is available and that you want to sell?
