building of my F350

[noluck]

it starts with finding a clean broken truck

i had looked at alot of crap before i found this truck, it had a 6.4 with low compression in two cylinders and smoked like crazy but was still running. so i send a block and a couple of heads to be cleaned in preparation to being built

what it looks like with some pistons

i had been stashing parts away for this build for a couple of years, a had bought a couple HT3B's 10 years ago now, the 23cm housings are hard to find, so nice to be using one. was not sure on the top turbo. has looking at the self of turbo's hanging around and spotted a s300 did some measuring and it is a 62/70. perfect turbo for a top charger. the head and injection pump came off a 1995 customers truck that decided he needed 1200hp. so they went in and got built.

cab coming off and powerstroke out, and the mock up block in

 

[noluck]

time to hang turbo's. get them close drop the cab on to check clearance then build a hot pipe to connect the two.

 

[noluck]

everything is back apart, in prep for paint and final assembly, realized i did not like the oil pan i had so waiting for one to get shipped from ontario

Wow, lots of respect for guys who can resurrect a piece of machinery that someone thought was past its use-by date ——keep those pictures coming!
