Pretty sure this isn't now the intake impeller should look.

It touched the housing due to a bad bearing

In profile: I think its all junk

I never thought I would find an upgraded turbo replacement so quickly: but I did!

HE341: the turbo off the 2003-04.5 Dodge Ram. From testing by users on 4BTSwaps, the best turbo for the 4BT.

The HE341 plumbed in: the tall PVC is a temporary place holder for finding clearances for the final intake pipe.

Had to get a little creative to get everything to line up.

I got the rest of the front engine pulleys back on as well.

Just putting on a coat of paint prior to dropping it in. CubCadet Beige is about the closest thing I found to the original Cummins color.

With some Ford Blue highlights since I am merging Cummins and Ford.

Painting is wrapped up.

CubCadet Beige, Ford Blue, and 1200F Black on the exhaust

Its finally going in!

You may have noticed the extra accessory drive pulley on the front now, to drive my on-board air compressor.

I replaced the stock clutch disc with a Centerforce I clutch disc: stock pressure plate. 30% more holding power, they claim.

This is for sale: Need it?

I laid it out on the template made from the good one.

Appropriate hole sizes labelled and thicknesses for tube. Includes the weldable Al tube to add and drill out as indicated.

The broken part is the dust-shield part. The load-bearing parts are intact.

I'm only into it for $70, so I just want my money back. $70 & shipping to you. Way less than the $350-400 Cummins asks for a new one. I was quoted $200 to have the aluminum all weld up and repaired, not counting time drilling the tube to the right bolt sizes. So if you can weld the aluminum yourself, save hundreds!

The Hydroboost PS pump that came with my 4BT that I am swapping to a guy who needs the hydroboost, but has the vac/PS combo pump that I need.

Here's my new combo vacuum/PS pump. The engine mount had to be shaved down some for clearance.

Engine Mounts had to be tweaked from flat Chevy version to 45 degree Ford version.

Cut, bend, fill in the gaps

Fill the gap with whatever I had!

One side

Other side

Flex joint, spiral muffler, downpipe

Heat wrapped downpipe

all in place

Ford Thunderbird fan (half of it) and a hand-fabbed fan shroud

Hydraulic Clutch and the custom bracket to mate it

I had to turn the mounting end slightly for the clutch pivot to get the right resting position for the pedal. The new lever was only round, what I had was D-shaped. Putting old and new together solved the mismatch.

Cold zinc and a couple coatings of Herculiner truck bed coating on the fuel tank

The fuel sender adapted to the new feed and return lines to tank

Gotta protect that new tank!

Verticals back to cross member

Bracing between them

Main structure

Additional spacers to frame, but no bolts through them

A slight curve and 1 less spacer to clear the exhaust on one side

Ground down and ready for paint

Underside

Painted up nicely!

Skidplate remodeled from F150

Also painted up

Installed #1

Install #2

Making an access panel for the fuel tank

Remove the rubber floor

Remove the steel

Remove the tiny 1/16" rollover valve

Install a big 3/4" rollover valve

1" Pipe nipple w/ a 3/8" pipe cap welded on one end

Epoxy on a machine washer with 1" OD, capturing the .787" OD polypropylene ball

Pipe cap has cuts and a hole to allow any trapped fuel to drain

Drill cross holes above where ball sits

Thread on the 90 degree fitting: Rollover valve done!

Big vent hose added, and some chaffing protection.

Add the rail to hold the cut out. The cut-out piece has soap smeared around the edges so that when I put it back in place with some silicone on the rail the silicone will not stick to the cut-out.

Seal it back up!

The mounting location for the vent outlet

I added a waterproof filter and a 1/2" bypass valve

The valve clears the fuel cap

Its just zip-strapped to the plastic liner

Open the valve for fast venting, close it to stay water-fording-ready!

The Belt tensioner

Close up of the mechanism

Painted and done!

I do need to fire it and watch it while running, still.
