Cummins Drift Truck a la Dum-Dum

[Dum-Dum]

I'm looking forward to seeing you trying to get that thing into that truck. It's going to be a nightmare lol

I don't know, I know that it fits length wise, there is plenty of room width wise and height isn't an issue as I expect it to be coming out the bonnet anyway. You can come and watch when I do it as a couple of members have already offered to come and help so I'm sure we'll get it done.

I know this is a little kettle/pot here...
But 7 pages and youve removed the bed of the truck and moved an engine 10feet

I take our point and will raise you a quote from post number 1

......It's a long term project......

I never had any intention of doing this quickly and IIRC have said to several people that it would probably be at least summer 2018 before it hit the road. I'm in no rush and it's for fun so I'm not working on it in the cold and wet.

I can't do shit without engine mounts, I could make them but there is a cost to that and with my measuring skills it's just easier to import some from 'murica that are designed for a cummins retrofiit. I haven't bought these yet due to not really having the money but also I think the dollar is going to take a fall again when PE Trump becomes the actual President in January thus lowering the price of the mounts. Likewise I'm hedging my bets on uncertainty around the French and German elections to weaken the Euro by more than the Brexit farce weakens the pound before I buy the adapter I need to go between my shifter and the ZF box. These are considerations hat most people don't have with their projects.


Anyway just to be a pedant I'd like to point out that I've moved the engine 100miles and 10ft

I reckon lowering the car under it will be easier  

Yeah that's the plan, far easier to move the truck than the engine. Worst case scenario it's under £130 to hire a telehandler for the day.
