When it gets to the neck of the cobrahead....(aka the wide part....)

It can no longer have a nice perfect spiral flow anymore because the cross sectional shape of the pipe is changing as you go through the bend...

IGNORE the text on the picture but the flow diagram is correct....

Ok, thats what I THOUGHT was supposed to happen, but I read what you said originally complete bassackwards! Lol.

Thanks for clearing it up!

I'm fully capable of confusing myself.... let alone other people... so don't feel bad my keyboard threw up some and you became a victim...

Looking real NICE! :c:

Are you going to have to do any mods to the cab firewall, or will it shoe horn in ok? lol

There are about three or four "Old Iron" builds here and at 4bt and they all making me real jealous! :jump::jump::jump:

Are you going with a nice steel/wood flatbed with a dump on this outfit? :humm:

Merry New Year!

I think I will end up putting a spacer pad underneath the rear flywheel housing mounts to lift up the rear end a .250 - .375" to both take a few degrees out of the drive angle as well as gain a little bit more clearance to allow the Cummins to shimmy n' shake at shutdown without having any interference issues......

Ohh, didn't realized you used the whole thing, i thought you just took the motor from it.

47Ford - 1.5Ton 01-04-2011 10:05 PM

Its playing well.....

The new rear motor isolators still yet to come as the LORD liquid filled didn't quite fit the bill capacity wise (way too heavy)

But here she is....'all together'
