    I watched a u tube video of a shop that does the conversation. I should have know that there was different ac , alternator arrangements . The one I saw was a high mount ac unit . They also used a sensor wire on the alternator and I think a box to calibrate the signal for the tach . I going to add a manual gauge oil pressure to my truck so the information was helpful thanks

    Finally got my engine mounted yesterday. I used the same locations for temp and oil.

    I have a complete mid-mount kit out of an F700 if you're interested. Bracket, tensioner, water neck, alternator brackets, thermostat housing, the entire thing. I'll make a good deal if you decide to go that route. Tried to find your post on the FB page but can't find it now.

    alright mr.rico first off ill say your videos are crazy helpful, much appreciated. for the water temp sensor, i used my old 350 water temp sensor and wasnt getting a reading. i ordered a new 350 water temp sensor and still am not getting a reading, i grounded out my temp senor wire and it went full hot. so the wires good, i have 0 tephlon tape so i have a good ground. do you have any ideas what could be my problem? i am installing in the same location you are.

      Glad my videos helped.
      Just a thought have you made sure the parts store isn't giving you the wrong sending unit? .
      If they mistakenly gave you a sending unit for a light and not a gauge it could give you the problem you are having

    hello, what did you do about oil pressure switch so its not fully making out?

    • @RicosGarage
      @RicosGarage  2 роки тому

      I ended up going with an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. All the other factory gauges work fine.

    Do you have the part number for the water and oil switches?

      Look up the sending units for an 82 K30 454 engine with gauges.
      Sorry I don't remember the part numbers

    Hey Rico, Iim sorry to bother you. Thank you so much for the awesome videos!! You are the man! ISO I’m doing a Fummins build and I’m deleting the A/C. I can’t find the correct belt tensioner? Also what wastegate actuator did you use for your HX35? I want to send you cash for your time.

      Give me a day or two and I'll check my records and see if I can get you some part numbers.

    Is that frame cut to make the engine fit?

      Had to modify the front crossmember to clear the balancer.
      The mods were not finished in this video. Just a rough cut for clearance as you see

      There's kits available if you are not comfortable with doing the fabrication yourself
