very nice build!
wish i could have seen it sooner, especially on the motor mount thing, assuming u used the dodge 6bt engine plate to bolt up the 47, i'm about 99% sure a set of mounts off a 94-02 would have bolted right up to the engine and right in to your stock engine mounts on the frame, but either way great project!
if you want too look into tuning, just ask, these fuel systems are very east to turn up the HP and and get even more mpg's, my first recomendation would be to get the 3200 gov spring installed, only $20 for it, a bit of a pain to install but WELL, WELL worth it, them some simple AFC mods and power adjustments and it will bring that thing too life! injectors make all the difference in the world too, it goes on and on for ever

Thanks man, the problem was the motor placement would be too far forward. Missing the back two cylinders made it kind of mess.... I am very happy with the liquid mounts though, theres very little vibration in the cab that many complain about when swapping these shaky little 4bts...
Update with a few pics... installed my radiator, ac cooler, and trans cooler back in so the hood can latch again.
My 4bt coolant passages were 1 3/4" and 2 1/4" on the bottom and reduced to 1 1/2" for its radiator. Problem was they werent in the right direction or right length so I had to splice some new hose with reducing barbs and hose clamps.
I also got my driveshafts back. Theyve been balanced with washers too. New Ujoints on the ends
With the lid closed finally . Hood got super dirty laying on the ground

Thanks guys!
Well it looks good for now. The intake pipe won't fit with the back of the firewall either so I am going to just use an ugly 2" ag hose with plastic elbows... Maybe I'll paint it so it won't stick out like crazy. I don't really care about this part since I'm getting an intercooler when I can find one for cheap
I will be getting an exhaust setup in the next week too. Probably exit out in front of the passenger tire since it will be a little cheaper than all the way back
