Geoff is a very awesome guy to deal with
11.1 is a nice pump gas compression ratio, my new setup is 10.8 and might take a little off the head to get me 11.1.

 

Shift kit and oil pump ordered

 

Looking at a 2007 Vmax 6.0 Crew cab truck tomorrow. Seen some rust on my truck and now feel like I'm fighting a never ending battle. Would rather stick all this money in a newer truck but If the price doesnt work this project will go on in my truck now.

Looks like the build is coming together good. I want to build one for mine in the near future, hell my girlfriend wants to build a 6.0 for her truck too. Great way for a couple to bond haha. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of power you put down.

Engine

 

Im down in Portage. Got a few buddies who live in GB, and I make it up to most games.

Looks good. Got any closer pictures of how your mounted the trans cooler?

 

No, but I have to figure out where to move the air bag sensor to so can take some more in a few days for you when I pull it back apart.

What I did was went to home depot and got like a 3 foot x 1 inch flat stock aluminum or galvanized steel, was like $7. Removed the Stock cooler and cut the flat stock to fit the bottom bolt holes, you can reuse the 10mm stock bolts. The top brace you will have to predrill a small hole and I used the bigger fat screws that came with the kit and screwed the top flat stock into the core support thing. Here is My awesome MS paint skillz.
