landman Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) More work on the engine. Added details to the fuel injection pump I had cut off the DAF. Turned some pulleys. Turned the water manifold on its side, added a flange and a top plate. It will support the intercooler. Added detail to the bottom front cover. Edited December 7, 2020 by landman
landman Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Playing with the exhaust manifold. Adding stuff to the front. It is supposed to end up looking like the photo . Edited December 7, 2020 by landman

landman Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 Real nice work Pat. I can't wait to see the engine completed Thank you. I just realized I mixed up the pulleys.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Thank you. I just realized I mixed up the pulleys.I thought that I was the only one that did that type of thing.Looking great though!!!

landman Posted June 21, 2017 Author Posted June 21, 2017 WOW!!!!!!!!! Looks fan-freakn-tastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a picture of the real engine Kerry.
landman Posted June 21, 2017 Author Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Working on the exhaust manifold And the intercooler And rebuilding the backside of the compressor. Paint test. Edited December 7, 2020 by landman
DrKerry Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 That is a picture of the real engine Kerry. I know, I was talking about the work your putting into your scale power plant!!!!!!! Great work!!!!!! Those pulleys look great!!!!!
SpreadAxle Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 True craftsmanship here. It's going to look great when finished.
landman Posted June 22, 2017 Author Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Worked a bit on those airlines. Looks like the engine can fit using the donor frame's rear motor mount and rad. the front crossmember will need a relocation to the rear and up. My wife found these colors in her stash. the second one might be close. Edited December 7, 2020 by landman
Superpeterbilt Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Excellent work on that motor Pat. Your killin it!
landman Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Took another approach to opening up the grille. Similar to a technique used in woodworking to make mortises, I drilled overlapping holes to open up a slot for the files. Then I GINGERLY file off the rest careful not to eat into the very flimsy frames. Edited December 9, 2020 by landman
landman Posted June 24, 2017 Author Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Still drillin' and filin' and sandin', until my hands cramped up. then went to the Big Al. Split the DAF's turbo and rotated so it could accept a pipe from above. Made the pipe from the intercooler with solder. Edited December 9, 2020 by landman
landman Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) It will look something like this. Edited December 9, 2020 by landman

JUNK-MAN Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 It is either an oil cooler or maybe an oil pump. The craftsmanship though is just amazing I cannot wait to see her done. If it was already discussed I'm sorry but have you decided on a body color yet?
