Was going to say the same thing, almost all ford engines use that same power steering pump from sometime in the 70's until around 00'-04'ish depending on the engine, my 78' f150 302 had the same pump as my 95' 460 and the 7.3's
might need a braket or something to help hold those turbo's up. Them shacking around will probably crack the pipe otherwise. Cant wait to see this thing run
On the just make a nice front and rear crossmember for the engine. Don’t worry about putting that ford one back Also don’t forget oil drains in the oil pan I believe it can flip 180 Good luck
It'll be cool and unique, but not that insane. The Cat 3208 isn't anything special; in fact it's one of the most widely-hated Cat engines of all time. I have a farmer buddy at work who used to be an industrial/ag diesel mechanic. He calls them "throwaway engines," because they had a several common weak points, design flaws, and they weren't sleeved blocks, so they weren't really rebuildable. Steiger used to put them in their smaller 200-225hp Bearcat and Wildcat tractors. My neighbor had a Bearcat II ST-225 that came with a 3208. It doesn't have a 3208 anymore. It has a big I6 now, but idk if he went with another Cat or a Cummins. Steiger made excellent tractors, though. Many of them had bigger I6 Cat engines that were bulletproof and had tons of power.
You could just about try to jb weld that thermostat housing back together . Not ideal but could work until you find a cheap replacement . Or get some nickel rod and arc weld it together
I don’t know where these will sit in the truck but I assume above the hood, with the manifolds pointing down I feel the turbos would have fit better behind the bumper or something
From minnesota we have like 10 of those housings if u want one let me know I'll send ya one free of charge, also we have 6 engines sitting around doing nothing if u need any other parts let me know
5:00 cast iron, 3/32 inch E6010 or E6011 stick welding rod specifically with the blue copper flux on the rod... 65amp spot welds. welded black iron too stainless oil line fittings with those rods too. ... I have 70 pounds of that soft welding rod filler inventoried. would also work on cast manifolds, tho if you have a CNC jet table nonsense sitting around i guess that works... no idea what happened to the common 300buck rent a clunker cars.
I like your project, I have done lots of different swaps and know the pitfalls. I don't want to be negative but I would rethink the twin turbos addition, at least for now. Engine compression is already higher on NA engines compared to turbo engines. Also you have to match the compressor map etc. Lots of good info available on selecting turbo on internet. But if I were you, I would concentrate on completing the installing of the 3208 and 10 speed first, working out all the logistics that you will be encountering, and trust me there will be more problems than you think. Having the turbos at this time will be a nightmare and you will need a good size inter-cooler for the turbo(s) as well. Best way to complete a swap is to keep it simple as possible. Keep up the great work!
I doubt he has that many issues. It's a mechanical diesel and I stand by that, it might make too much boost, but I have faith in the guy. A mechanical diesel isn't rocket science.
@@2ndspingarage I guess you haven't done many of these swaps then. Always fitment problems and space is limited, it's a premium space under any vehicle hood. Adding 2 turbos right off the bat will eat up a lot of area under, adding to extra complexity, most guys end up quieting the project because they take on too much at once. And most people will have their hands full just doing the motor and tranny swap. You can always add the bling and HP after.
@@STROKER-GARAGEmaybe cut out 1/4 inch spacers for the primary's to get it away for the valve covers? Just guessing that's where they hit when flopped and turned up.
@@Go4BrokeOffroadGT3582's are rated at about 600hp each. I have one of those exact turbo for my 6.5TD. debated on just installing one on mine but I'm going to compound it off the stock turbo after a little modification. Should be just the right amount of boost to turn the 6.5td into a real powerful 600 pound pineapple grenade.
@@WilliamDaniel-m6yI have one on my honda and two on my 351w. They work great. The hx40 would be a better bet for your setup. I run this on my 7.3 idi and it makes a world of difference. The back pressure is a huge issue. The head gaskets will get pissed off quick.
For a v band pulley for your ps pump, you can use a v band pulley off a 7.3 idi engine

Awesome to finally see someone building a 3208 with twins, just make sure you brace those turbos!
Good job, starting to come together, big shop will be awesome!
Yes! Thank you for the support!!
A great "Can Do"attitude will make this happen and I can't wait.
Thank you! More updates coming soon

I'm sure he knows all of that.....
Maybe give the credit that he's knows all of that.
@@2ndspingarageagreed it’s funny bc he says in the video that he plans to make brackets or supports
wish you the best ,exited to see updates on this project
Just about to go to bed but saw another 3208 update and had to watch right now!
Thanks for tuning in! I’ll try for bi-weekly updates! What would you like to see next?

Maybe try flipping and swapping the exhaust heads and you might get a better setup with less pipe if they work like that
Your dollar God to buy from Australia. Great motor they don't die. Mary Xmas mate. God bless 🇦🇺

Not a bad idea and I definitely would but there was about 10 little pieces
@ ahh yea well that sucks .

Thank you! Hopefully I will speed up the progress
Should sell a kit or the CAD models

@joeg7755 I've had my struggles making room for boost pipes, intercooler, and the turbo.
Greetings from Germany very enjoyable content 🫡
How much power you got all... the torque
Were gunna need bigger turnbos man
Shoud make a good 225 to the wheel 🤣
Those manifolds cant be flipped?
Maybe for the power steering pump try a 6.9 l IDI Ford cuz that might have a v belt
I will look into this! Thank you
Any early 80s and I think 70s ford v belt pulley (might be wrong [C7AZ-3A733-A ford part #]) will fit that power steering pump
Cool project, however, pressure test all your welds. It's not that difficult to make plugs and fittings up to do it.
I have an idi the idea of a pony moter has been floating around in my head. How much torque would it take to spin it fairly quick?
naturally asperatted has much higher compression ratio, will have to have turbo ratio, unless you want to destroy that
couldn't you flip the manifold's upside down?
Can you not braze the thermostat housing back together? Just as a short term fix? Got to be better than JB weld as good as jb weld is.
Subaru top mount intercoolers would be funny
That’s kinda what I was considering
What did u change in the engine is it standard piston’s
As far as i know its all factory right now.
Why not flip exhaust manifolds first ??
Those won’t fit upside down without modification
Can you weld the thermostat housing, seems like that would be cheaper!
There was about 10 little pieces and they bent too! I don’t think I can
It’s after the fact now but can you flip the manifolds upside down? May have to swap from right to left as well but it might be something to look into
That's what I came here to say, swap sides and turn the outlet up.
I already tried that. Unfortunately the head and manifolds are curved at the outlet and it doesn’t work
I think it's awesome
Can you flip the exhaust manifold!
Yes but.. they would be right in the firewall he is doing the best way to fit
Check out twin sticks garage. He might have or know someone who does
I will! Thanks
👍
why don't you just flip manifolds?
I tried that already. They curve in at the bottom so it didn’t work
@ if that is the point very creative way to rout the pipes good job
@@STROKER-GARAGEmaybe cut out 1/4 inch spacers for the primary's to get it away for the valve covers? Just guessing that's where they hit when flopped and turned up.
What type of eaton transmission is that?
10 speed
Will the manifold bolt up upside down?
No. I already tried that
If any 6.5 Detroit can is watching, they will tell u intercoolers don't work.
An update
Yap less, work more.
That flow to the turbos is gonna be terrible😭
Itll be fine. The turbos are tiny.
