For an exhaust manifold, it's just a replacement high-flow. DCS # 3100. Stock turbo. For now.

DCS does carry some sensor adapters. it's a DCS #1054 in this case for oil pressure and water temp.

The original 5R110 transmission is a great trans, but, the 5R110 that was behind a gas engine is one of the few that we do not have a stand-alone controller for. 6.0 and 6.4 vehicles, we can retain ...

amazingly enough, it all fits with no modification to the doghouse or the surrounding floor.

passenger side mounts

Driver side mount (mount set for a 12 valve in an Econoline is #2459)

There is just enough room to slide that engine in with oil pan and pick up tube removed, and the engine chained up as close to the forks as possible.

Here are the DCS mounts with the factory mounts removed and the crossmember prepped. and with the DCS mounts installed. Note##--you will have to leave the passenger side off to actually slide the e...

The 2005 gas vans with the 5R110 present a pretty unique set of challenges. As of this date, we do not have a way to control the 5R110 transmission with the stock tcm. so for this project, we'll take...

Frame prep for motor mounts. If you choose not to build or modify the VW oil pan, it will require a lift to move the front differential down for clearance. The only kit we found that will do that is t...

@edwardsss It was ok. The issue was the used engine. it ran, but it wasn't great. The engine clearly needed to be gone through. that project is why we won't use unknown used engines any longer. Havin...

The customer intended to retain the AC, so we installed a DCS#2300 high-mount AC and alternator relocation package. We used a one-wire GM alternator for this application as well.

Back up front we went with just a replacement aluminum radiator and twin electric fans. Stock 4BT, cooling shouldn't be any kind of issue.

once the engine was in, the next phase was the transmission crossmember and and assorted bracketry for the 4R100 and the new Atlas t-case. once that's done we'll wire up the trans controller.

The customer wanted to go with a modern Digital dash, in this case sourced from Dakota Digital. It does add quite a bit of wiring and some controllers to hide. It required some signal conditioning an...
