Welp i installed my bosch glow plugs... then the glow plug relay/solenoid died all together... it already was wired to a toggle switch so i went basically with what was there already... i found were folks were wiring the ford starter solenoids in parallel but i didnt mind not having the relay...

well i gave up... im not gonna easily be able to fit the turbo type setup easily... sold the motor last night... im leaning more towards a 12V in the flat bed and moving that motor in my comanche and mount it to the AX15 OEM tranny... So itll be awhile before i kick back on that build... just...

Post number 40 I had the compression checked and started a new thread from there i think... was told it was bad... ran a series of tests myself snd things didnt add up... bought everything and did a compression test myself and was fine... injectors are next... added a inline fuel pump and no...

Ya even with the van manifolds it would take some fab work to make them work... i really hate the idea of what it takes to build manifolds... lol... i have a tube bender actually but can only bend up to 2in and right now largest die i have is 1.75... that may actually be large enough with this...

So i guess it would go on the passenger side but it looks like it has a angle to the outlet which screws me once again... if it was straight like the passenger side used on the drivers then i could have made them work...

no big deal... as i am interested in the system its just not what im trying to figure out at the moment... thanks!

This is the XJ im maching everthing in... you can see if i didnt have shock hoops the banks manifold would actually work great... but i looked at both pretty hard and i think the turbo would be about dead center of my shock hoop on the forward side... HOWEVER thats why i asked about the vans...

Tanman start your own thread please...

Ill post pics either here shortly of what im running into or in the next few days... no easy way to do it from my phone... wife and baby on the way home so no tellin... Real quick though... The banks manifold wont work for me either... my shock hoops right in line... but i can go forward...

i need to read around in there looking for more pics... its possible... i need to set the motor back in and see if that front mount will clear my shock hoop or not... i believe it will and i dont have a battery there either so lots of room! The only thing im confused about is the van manifold...

well today i tried sticking the exhaust and turbo setup back on the engine and setting it in just to see... of course it was nowhere near gonna fit... even with the frame modifications i had planned the exhaust manifold flanges are all in the frame and firewall on the drivers side right where...

Oh ya that 4.3 swap Is way different... that's a common swap because the XJ V6 is a 2.8... same as the 3.1... and 4.3 so besides the computer side of it it's a bolt in swap

I had planned to go with a th400... however my ax15 is said to hold up to the power of a mild built 350 and with the 6.5 being less or horsepower and torque WITH OUT the turbo I really think it'll hold up that way... with a turbo I don't know... for now it's not looking like the turbo is gonna...

and no i havent stuck the turbo back there to see... i should do that... duh me...

speed sensor? dont think i really need it at all? was under the impression i didnt anyways... and the passenger side between the tranny and frame i should be able to... there is nothing there... my control arms mount on the outboard side of the frame... however that low i couldnt count on...

although i guess with a tranny on the back it wont look like so much room back there... lol...

im thinking the van style turbo and exhaust will fit... however im not interested in changing the heads and want to fab the truck intake system to work... use all the same oil lines just rework them... and bend the intake tube around like a horse shoe to fit the truck intake instead of useing...

i have the truck block.. heads and all... mechanical 6.5... 599 block... exahust crossover and all that mess... cant use the OEM turbo and its location... I also thought about building a NA6.5 instead and sell off the turbo setup however stock for stock with the 4.0 inline 6 i have already id...

U just made everything 500% more difficult lol... why can't I keep the location for the turbo oil now and rework the lines?? Save the crazy cam work?? I plan to pull the heads and oil pan to inspect and re gasket but I'm shooting for no machine work... I don't want to do a full rebuild really...
