Turbo cross-over pipe?

[corelokt]

How much luck have you had fitting a cross over pipe in our M1008 trucks? What sort of lift helps?

 

[corelokt]

Or even where to find one in stainless 2"?

SS diesel... get the 2 piece and hack away.. FYI leave the driverside stock NA manifold, turbo one is real PIA to get to work.

For my M1009 I made one up but it was hitting the front drive shaft so I just had a muffler shop make one for me they went all the way around the transfer case and back up, works good cost 200$

Motor mount lift kit?

Anyone aware of a commercial kit to lift the motor higher off the frame?

I do not know of any. curious why you would need to do this. It will only make your front driveshaft angle worse.

ORD sells competition motor mounts they may add some clearance, supposedly they are a lot stiffer. They also have a high clearance cross member if it helps you any. I think I am going to have to add the High clearance cross member when I add the turbo so that I have room between the cross member and steering link for the cross over pipe.

I know the van engine cups are about will set motor about 1 1/2 higher or so I thought

I have a turbo in it. The down pipe hits. The fabbed cross over hangs to low. I am adding an inch of body lift. An engine lift would settle some issues nicely. Can you provide a link to the ord parts?

 

[corelokt]

Can anyone confirm about the van mounts?

Do these motor mounts fit?

1966-78 Chevy Truck, Rubber Engine Mounts (EACH)(2283)

and do they really give more lift?

 

[Warthog]

Fit what?

Why start a new thread when you already have one going on this topic?

 

[doghead]

Merged with your other 2 threads.

Fit my M1008 and lift the motor as they claim.

Here is what happen to me... I bought a 1009 for 275 bucks off gl. It was missing the top end. I bought 6.2 out van.. me being stupid about the matter dropped the motor in, couldn't get the 400 mount up with cross member. It started the whole motor mount issue... the best way I have found to run cross over pipe is to hack away and make cross in front of the tranny mount.. give it adout 1 1/4 clearance. .
