I haven't got a new axle yet. The blocks will be put in when I do the new axles, ubolts and centering pins. All that is pretty low on my to do list at this time

I'm not running adapter plates. Allison 1000 bolts right up using a 2000 converter housing. I have roughly 5k into mine including buying the motor and should see roughly 900+ at the wheels. Granted I have 300 into my turbos and 300 into my head for cut valve guides to accept the new springs...

This motor weighs roughly 400 pounds more stock to stock. I had custom overloads made for my front end, but I also went to an Allison trans as well. Between the motor and trans, I went up roughly 700 more pounds up front minus adding more to the motor by going with 2 much larger turbos and all...

Jim, I have been doing assembly! Will be ordering a balancer soon though. Trying not to get the engine done before the rest of the truck! Soon as I hear it run I'm going to want to drive it! Truck is halfway back together

Progress of the past nine days... Painting motor mounts right now then bolting it in! Don't mind the steering wheel! It's got duct tape around it. It's actually very nice. But I switched over from the manual column to an auto column an brake pedal, have the cable throttle pedal...
