Like man who have done this swap no, they don’t make a Downpipe to fit these trucks. I order a complete exhaust for the X from diamond Eye. To be nice it fit like crap, I spent many hrs fitting the back part that went over the axle so it wouldn’t hit the shock, gas tank etc. I’m very happy how it turned out but there was a ton of cutting and welding just on the back part. I also had to make my own downpipe that actually seemed eaiser.

I don’t have any pics of it but I can get some. What I did was use the V10 fan and cut the threads off the water pump and welded them onto the hub for the CR pulley. It was way more involved then that lots of machine work to get it right but it works. The fan sits perfectly centered in the shroud. After that was intercooler piping and air filter. (getting close) Order a pipe kit and started cutting.

The main power was all run with 0 gauge wire. I also was able to sneak two full size batterys on the drivers side it was tight thou. You will also notice my custom PS tank I made. [ATTACH=full]144178[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144179[/ATTACH] For the tach I took the factory dodge dampner(which I had to buy) and machined to extra grooves for a total of 4 and then used the factory crankshaft sensor out of the ford for a pick up. Worked awesome, Getting the wires routed out was not ideal but for now it works I’ll change them down the road. [ATTACH=full]144180[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144181[/ATTACH] The vehicle even came with remote start and I was able to get that to work. [ATTACH=full]144182[/ATTACH] Made quick bracket and mounted the Cruise Control. [ATTACH=full]144183[/ATTACH] Also these tires that came with the truck are really noisy, since I don’t drive my red truck a ton I deiced todo some switching much better now. This is how the vehicle sits now. Need to paint the grill and give the truck a good buffing. I have a little over 1000 mile on it(in a week) and have average 19.6mpg. I have done zero tuning on the pump the only thing I have added was a Tork Tech OFV and 4k Springs. I have a few little things to fix here and there like a small oil leak, and the back up alarm doesn’t work. Otherwise everything works like it should. [ATTACH=full]144184[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
