Starting a build thread as some of this information may be useful to someone as many of the threads posted here have been useful.
The project is a 1986 Bullnose extended cab 6.9 IDI with ~146k if the odometer is correct.
It has Banks stickers, but no turbo, yet has some Banks parts such as the CDR block off plate on the intake and the CDR/draft tube relocate piece.
So far parts for the following have been sourced:
Hydroboost
Saginaw pump
3g Alternator
BB Code injectors
7.3 pump
Electric fans from a Windstar
Battery relocate box, moving one battery to frame to clear up room
Electric fuel pumps
38 gallon rear tank with manual fuel selector
Custom wiring harness
The goal is to get the truck up and running first before trying to install a turbo. Given there is not much room to work the engine cannot be pulled and all work is being done in the truck where it sits.
Since the engine cannot be pulled, work is being performed such that it is possible to source a good engine and drop it into an already improved engine bay should I need to.
