Pretty cool to see the progress...kudos!

You planning to keep the 4.6 shifter? Is the select shift feature of the coyote/6r80 worth going for?

 

I have a 6R80 2015 shifter, and a new center console, its on the to-do list

 

back from vacation, looking forward to getting back onto this project and finishing it up soon

 

Installed the new Walbro fuel pump so I dont have to deal with the bucket siphon small hose which I don't need

Also got the pump wired in to the harness grommet





Quick test fire in a bucket




Got the pump bracket installed in the tank, started working on vent lines tonight. Got a vent filter on order
Need to build a pressure hose from tank to external fuel filter and then the tank should be ready to be permanently installed.

 

I love this project great work. Sorry to take it off topic but are your headlights on your 2018 retrofitted?

 

You sir, have more patience and will than I could ever hope to have but seriously man that will be an awesome truck when it’s done, what are your exhaust plans at the moment?

 

They are retrofitted. Quads. I sent them out because I dont have time to build them with this project taking most of my time, not happy with the aiming of them, so a little frustrated that something I spent a bunch of money to be "turn key" and hands off, I now get to spend more time to fix/adjust them




Planning on using my two dynomax bullets and keeping them dumped before the axle. Undecided if I'll be keeping the 2015 convertors or not?

Been working in the garage last two evenings after my junk yard run on last Sunday

May go back for a other junk yard hunt this weekend

More pics and videos very soon

 

Many many years ago I did 40/C/40 swap on my back seat. Finally finishing that swap correctly by welding a plate to the bottom of the cab while i have the gas tank out still. This was part of my junk yard run last weekend.....









And here's both wiring diagrams laid out together to figure out how I can combine the two ignition systems into the 2003 ignition switch. More on that later on once I get back to work inside the truck


I made photo copies at work so I can highlight and make notes on the pages

 

Bought a repair kit so I can build a nylon fuel line to splice from the 2003 Fuel hat on top of the tank to the 2015 fuel line under the truck






Building one end of the fuel line






Heres my tank vent filter I ordered (at least the part is from a brand in the Ford family)






I chopped up the 2015 fuel hat so I could use the connectors on it. Wired them into my 2003 fuel hat. Now the 2003 tank is plug and play with the donor Coyote harness







Fuel harness completed







Tank is finally ready to go back under the truck and get installed!







Tank installed, built the other end of the nylon splice hose







All my test fitting and measuring paid off. The tank and the battery box are happy together







Tight squeeze for the filler neck and kill switch.







Modified filler neck ready to get installed


Until next time

 

Here's video update 6

Playing with more wiring. Extending the wiring going into the cab on the drivers side. Pics later


Trying to wrap up some loose ends, still on the quest for conversion tie rods to go from my 2015 steering rack to my 2003 spindles.

playing around on here, gonna get some ordered and see what happens

Still need to order a driveshaft as well. one thing at a time

 

Here's my harness extension and downsizing connector pictures



Here's the original Ford harness connector engine bay to body harness



Will swap this much smaller plug in for cleaner install, and allow me to use an existing smaller hole in the firewall



And here is the completed new harnesses. Still need to tape them up

 

And the real exciting news is I got a real test fire on the engine, and was able to warm it up to operating temperature








I was unable to get the cooling fans to come on. Not sure if I didnt get hot enough, or if I've got am issue somewhere....

I got it up to 218 *F on my hand held, which I would have guessed should be hot enough for the fans to kick on
