Hey guys I am putting a powerstroke in one of our roll off trucks that had a 7.3 N/A motor in it. The trans was a spicer 5 speed. A guy put a 6.9 ford motor in it and didn't get the motor wired right and didn't run the best. I spent a week re working this and geting all the wires mated to the International body. The truck is a 91 International 4600. I have been taking pictures as I go just to keep. I have a lot of computer electrical work as soon as the fab work is done. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think and/or what you think. I always need ideas.

Nice work. Are you a fabricator by trade?

Thank you! I like to do this kinda of work when I have the chance. I really like to fab stuff like this and make it look good and work. I ended up making an entire K member with top brackets that go over the frame rail and bolt. I just painted it today. I took a bunch of pictures of the progress. I was suprised when I bolted the motor down on the mounts, how heavy a powerstroke engine and trans weighed. So I put it on a grain scale and it pegged the 1800lb mark. So I had to make more braces and it came out great! I shocked myself when I looked at it all done. Can you post up the last pictures for me? Thank you for helping me out with the pictures and thanks for the comments!
