2 months, no update, no progress. I was hoping to see an addition to this thread that had engine installed pics after I got home, but noooo!

I’m hoping you’ve been too busy making a fancy “free to a good home” sign for your lonely, neglected little engine. I’d be willing to pay a small rehoming fee for it...

You need to just put two motors in the bed of this truck, with the transmission and bring it out here. I'll get it done for you.

I hope you fogged the engine after you played with it last.



Did you ever get rid of the Allison mobile home transmission? I think I want one...

You using the stock air filter? I have some killer MRAP air filters with the housing if you decide you need to upgrade.
Hi bud. Are those the same as an example you had at the Findlay meet? Air filter on the 9 is a known weak point, even for the stock 8.3L. ISL-400 is an MRAP engine (as you well know), so I will be looking to change. I'm hoping to not lose the fording capability, but if I do then so be it, I hope to never drown the truck anyway. I grabbed the air cleaner box from the RV, since it was stock for that engine and power level, but of course it is some ugly plastic thing with impossible mounts on it.

Are yours MRAP, if not OK, do you know any ratings on them? Thanks.
If you already haven’t, better get you one before Gimpy runs out!IMG_5518.jpgIMG_5519.jpg
Almost a direct replacement for the stock housing, will need to shorten the hanger bands a bit for the 2” less in diameter, and change the plumbing over to match the 6” in and out, vs stock 5”. Also, some cool turbonator action going on inside...

Cute, bro. ISL-400 has indoor storage.

Yes, as it was not part of the engine sale to me. I listed and sold that 6 speeder tranny on eBay. It went overseas. It was electronic, so took a lot of external modules and such to work. Had all that with it, but cal would be way off due to axle ratio and tire heigth differences.

I believe the new paint job on that pretty motor will be faded by the time you get that thing in. It will probably need to be painted again.

I think he’s planning on recycling old posts/excuses. We are pretty much back to “it’s too cold” again.

The circle of life.

Its snow flurries here and I was still able to get an air tank added on today and slap a coat on the ISO bed before it set in.
