M813 re-power underway!

[No.2Diesel]

The body lift idea is a great concept but think of all the trouble involved:

-Radiator/Cab/Fender supports
-Clutch, Brake Actuation
-Steering Components

Would the bed be raised as well? What would it look like with a huge 6" gap between the battery tray, toolbox/running boards?

Thats a huge amount of work that does nothing for the function of the truck.

I'm still working on a hood bump design

Here ya go.Ready made.Just cut the hood and stick it in place.

Yeah I'm trying to avoid a civi looking cowl induction scoop although I'm sure what I fabricate will look like a wart or a big juicy pimple. *splat*

get a cdn. 809 series hood, the cdn 809s have jake brakes and the hood has the raised section to clear the front valve cover

Hood Modifications

Wow I never realized they existed. Thank you for that info. Does anyone have a picture of one?

Edit: here are some pics I found

Since my 816 puked it's 250 the other day I am looking for a 400 Comapart with 10 speed Road Ranger.....................THE RACE IS ON!!!!!!!

 

[73m819]

the problem i found when i was going to change the trans when i had the xcase out was front drive shaft clearance with other trans, there is not much space between the drive shaft and the stock trans. i wanted to put a od. 8 or 10 speed in. all the fuller and spicer specs showed the trans being to WIDE and just a bit long, though the length can be handled by moving the xcase back and having the drive shafts changed to match the new spacing

My buddy is a metal guy, we're gonna mod the hood. I agree that the body lift would be very invasive but would be cool if everything else was raised with it. That way I could run 52's with PLENTY of clearance!!!

I also have to clear the crossover tube so who knows what will happen now............

Make sure you get the correct brakes. A single entry turbo takes a different autolash screw than a dual entry. Mix them up and you can break things.

There is a single outlet from the turbo to the intake top. (see pics) Is that classified as a single entry turbo? I bought a set of Jakes today, number 425, the fella said they would work on everything except a big cam 4. What do you think?

The thing that sucks for me is that I cannot move the t-case back as it would hit my underbody hoist. For right now the stock five speed will do, more planning will dictate if that avenue will be travelled down.......

Single entry turbo has a single, large entry into the turbine housing, (exhaust). The dual entry is bridged so there are two holes into the turbine housing. The settings are different. You will also need to make sure you have 24VDC solenoids installed.
Here's a link to the 425A page, good info there,

not that bad to do the body lift... just cut the ovals longer inside the cab for the pedal problem... the mounts are easy to make for other things and the steering doesn't get changed much plus gets the steering wheel away from you a bit more... it's not that hard just takes patience... and yes if you wanted you could do a bed lift as well but if you think about it the cab already sits lower than the bed so they would be close to or level with each other with the cab being lifted some

Here are a few pics of the hauling/unloading process. My tractor sure knew that engine was out there but it handled it fine w/no counterweight.

Okay Will, I'm picking up what you are putting down! I'll be sure to check that and thanks for the link! I don't know what the specific part number on the Jake is yet except that they are 425's. The price was right so even if they don't work I can sell them.

 

[TheBuggyman]

Well, another turn in the road of life.......

Got my hands on a 400 Cummins w/ Jakes already on it. Sent the pump to get turned up (HP and RPM) and installed a dual feed fuel line. Cleaned it up and test fired it (not on the wood blocks!). So now I have a 350 Cummins for sale with a set of Jakes.

Price?
