I can take pics of my deuce with the LDS motor in if you need any ideas on how it's done, or questions about placement of stuff. Looks like a clean install on mine (Kudos to IMP).
I'll take all the help I can get.
I think it's going to be a simple swap but it's something that needs to be thought out. As previously mentioned, once we pull the trigger on the project I want to have everything on hand.
I'm attaching a picture of the discharge flange of the LDS-1A turbo. The I.D. (bore) is 3-1/16" and the O.D. of the end flange is 4-1/4". I need to verify if the LDT C and D turbo dimensions are different and if so, how different. I can fabricate ("make fit") an exhaust system but if I'm going to need a different sized flange area pipe (where the pipe mates to the turbo) I need to get it on site before we tear the truck down.
I also need to sort out what I'm going to need to buy in the way of oil pump pickup tubes etc... I "think" all I have to do is install different pickup tubes and reverse the pan. My existing LDT-1D engine is a perfectly good motor therefore I don't want to canabilize it. I'm either going to store it for future use or sell it. If anyone has what I need please PM me.
I'd also like to install a pre-lube system and a remote by-pass filter to go with Builder 77's
5 micron spin-on filters. This would give maximum protection from the get-go.
