Made some more progress this weekend!

The Front mount HE I ordered, 26x7x3.5 is one big mamba jamba. In fact, it is too big when thinking about a kit as no one is going to want to do what I had to do to get it in there. The other model I typically use is 26x7x2 and will fit beautifully.

First I had to cut a couple of tabs off of the HE. Then I had to modify the mounts that hold the front bumper on to squeeze it in. Basically, I had to chop off half of each on the back side, then grind down the tab left on the under side of the bumper. I then removed the two studs in the bumper that normally go through the body mounts and turn them around so the studs stick out (to get the nuts on that hold the bumper in place). I did this by drilling the hole in the mounting tab larger and fitting them through from the back before mounting the HE.

The small black HE is for the Rotrex fluid and it is intentionally at an angle. First, a slight angle to prevent air pockets, then a little more exaggerated to account for a mounting stud for the large HE that is in the way and get more exposure to air. There is a lot in the way here!

Next I mounted the Ford lightning pump in the lower front drivers side. I then connected the water lines to everything except for the last piece from the HE output to the IC input (ran out of hose).

I still need to order a couple of black hoses and a new air filter to replace the "blue" and my "junk" air filter on there now. However, I'm waiting until I sure up the list of parts needed so I can order them all at once. I can't seem to find the second part to my banjo fittings for the rotrex fluid lines so that is a pisser.

Next up, wire up the electric for the water pump and put the bumper back on!!!
