440 to Cummins Crew Cab Swap: Another thing.

How to Read this Blog

When I started this blog, I could not figure out, within the given parameters, how to get it to read logically. So it ended up with the freshest post on the top of the page with the top of the post being the beginning of the post. When you get to the end of the post, you will find the beginning of the previous post. A bit awkward, but ...it is what it is. (right David?)

Also, feel free to leave comments. I engaged the annoying "real person verification thingy" because some dork put an add to his product on my blog and disguised it as a comment. He probably works on wall street.

Another thing.

The first two pictures show the tranny cross member. The one in the donor truck (right) looks beefier than the old one. It also has a relief in it for the exhaust. Snaking the 4" exhaust past the transfer case is pretty tricky, so I will probably swap this member, too. At least this one bolts in.

Below and right you can see that the only difference between the under engine member is the slotted motor mount hole on the driver's side. A little work with the grinders will solve this problem.
