[kawibrute]

Thanks It has been a lot of work but so worth it. Tonight I am going to finish up my motor mounts and hope to fire it this weekend. i will Post it on youtube!

post on here to! you have to put it in some rat rod shows...you doing some sort of sheet metal around the engine? how about teh exhaust setup? wheres the exhaust going to go? hehehe

 

[mudguppy]

... wheres the exhaust going to go? hehehe

at first i thought it should go straight up. but i think it should curve down and flow along the ground for a bit before turning out just like the 'zoomy' headers would do.



that's the best use for a MF that i've seen yet.

 

[kawibrute]

Have not made up my mind yet I have it down to 3 options..... right up off the turbo, run to a 5" stack behind the cab, or up the A piler like the duece has......

 

[kawibrute]

No sheet metal on the engine it is going to open wheeled just like you see it.

 

[powerhouseduece]

That is awesome, we need vids ASAP!!

 

[kawibrute]

You guys have talked me into for sure this weekend firing it up!

I never knew Massey Ferguson built any LDT465's .

Glad you fired it up, cool vid. You planning on any power steering? Its probably pretty torquey with alot less wieght then a deuce i bet.

The Multifuel (MF ) feels real torquey the entire truck weights 1/4 of a duece. The steering I was even suprised. I thought that with and weight of the engine it was going to be true "armstrong" steering but it very easy. I used a 20:1 Vega steering box and it works really well.

I guess that means it can be done in most any truck. Maybe all you need to do is to extend the front end a foot or so to fit the motor under the hood. Would help weight distribution and give whatever donor vehicle a unique look. For example, a Chevy Silverado 1 ton with a longer nose.

That's about the most awesome thing I've seen this year.
