Lotsa cutting required to get it to come down 4 " lower......

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6959993_n.jpg

Its a shame that I think the CAC piping is going to have to go.....it looked sweet..... well see..... I might lower EVERYTHING to make it look similar but.... I'm out of hood space I think...

cab comes back off this week/weekend to weld up temporary support while I cut out the entire floor and firewall....

Stock firewall recess.....
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5025955_n.jpg
We'll be opening it up just a bit (another inch or so) but the recess is pretty close considering flathead V8 vs. I-6....
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7955204_n.jpg
Cobrahead exhaust did its job and then some..........
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7807259_n.jpg
Full 10" slam up front and 8" slam out back
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4041898_n.jpg
Best I can do without hitting garage door opening...............
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4112854_n.jpg
sh*t...intercooler piping....gone...... radiator.. needs to be lowered 3 or 4 inches.......

the air to air plumbing might look pretty cool kinda frenched into the front of the hood. just food for thought.:humm:

47Ford - 1.5Ton 06-25-2011 11:06 AM

full mock complete..... cab is well.... exactly where it needs to be... (about time CAD paid off.... I was prob +/- 1/4" on placing the CAD via solidworks to where the wheel centered up in the fender in reality...noice!)

Now if only I could have seen how much radiator I'm about to loose...........

anywhoo... here are some cool pics........


quiet optimism.... (At this point I'm saying .... "good God... I think its going to fit.......)
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3083539_n.jpg

it does it does!
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5923569_n.jpg

after everything is squared up and centered a bit.....(suspension is slammed)
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5639666_n.jpg

Seeing what the one stacker is gonna look like...
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6736023_n.jpg

She's a baaaaad girl.....(at this point i'm finally glad I went with a long nose vs. a COE..... which I was starting to doubt when I cut into the floor so bad.... this made it worth it...)
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5200803_n.jpg

Down.... (remember running board level will be at the bottom of the fender........so shell be low...)
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3735811_n.jpg

And up she goes to check full life clearances......
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4799717_n.jpg

slight optimism...theres room for rad and intercooler... not much.. but its there....
http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6015359_n.jpg
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._8369744_n.jpg

I was scared when the hood went on...
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1786512_n.jpg
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3478310_n.jpg

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4143772_n.jpg

Tank clearance....plenty!
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7004529_n.jpg



Standing tall and proud for the first time all together with her new motor and transmission, parallel 4 link out back, and new tank mounts....
