Will This Cummins FIT?? Diesel Swapped Explorer ?

Hello! In this video I test fit the 12 valve cummins to start my diesel swapped explorer project and to get a better idea of how it will all fit and what modifications will need to be done to the body.
In order to do so I had to remove the front bodywork and the fenders, air hammer a bunch of spot welds, remove the old v6, and take a couple trips to Ford to deal with the R12 refrigerant that the AC system was apparently full of.

how did you make this thumbnail?

[@BuildSomethingAuto]

Why, is it a good one? Haha. I use da vinci resolve, this particular thumbnail can be made entirely in the color corrector tab but I use fusion on some of them. I basically just masked off the picture of the car (power window), inverted the window so that the background was selected, blurred the background, and changed the color balance on the blur to make it come out blue. Then added text of course. I used a very similar technique on the body removal video.
Hope this helped!

but I like how it blurs and colors the background, really makes the car stand out
