Fummins Build - Part 3

The motor is officially in the truck, sitting level, and everything clears...EVEN THE AURORA 3000 sitting on top of the 3-piece manifold.  All the wiring was converted over to hook up to the Cummins.  It only takes about an hour to hook everything up...these P-Pumps are so dang simple!

It was definitley a tight fight getting the oil pan over the front cross-member and the valve cover under the cowl, but with a little finesse and a little persuasion, it goes in.  Then after some wiggling to get it to sit straight, it was bolted down.  The motor actually seems to fit relatively well, and there is a lot of room on either side of the engine to work on.  The throttle cable took a little modification, but now almost looks like it was factory.

All the wires were hidden and wrapped in wire loom (Except for a few that needed to be modified so I left them un-wrapped.  Also, while the engine was out, the frame was painted with 3M rubberized under-coating. After the years of Colorado roads...it needed some love too.

The Aurora 3000 fits perfectly, and has plenty of room for heat dissipation as well.  There is even room for the S475 that is going to be mounted below as well.  Next, I will be filling it up with oil, priming the system, set the P-Pump timing, and fire it up.  Hearing that motor run will be super sweet!
