I think its about time where I got some wiggle room and extra info to start up a thread on here.
So, I've got that engineless Tucker 1544 from Colorado back last spring, so some of you might have heard.
Its been a bit of a ride, being busy w/life's other projects as some will agree, doesnt help with getting such projects done as fast as we would like to.
I find myself to be a guy that starts a project and gets it done in fastest manner possible otherwise another project might just steal my attention.
After various research and many many suggestions from a lot of you, as well as other by-standers, I made a choice on the engine to be used for the install.
Engine of choice came to be Isuzu's 4BD1T mated with its Auto transmission out of 1989 Isuzu NPR box truck we had seating on the property for past 13 years after it been in an accident.
Put some jumper cables and turned the key - is it a surprise that it started?! - I dont know, but I was surprised, as in most cases there is a lot more word with a gasser engine if it was to sit that long.
In anycase truck has been brought over next door to my buddy's shop, where I have access to a forklift and some extra tools that my home garage cant handle.
Engine pulled - cat brought in from storage - and work started.
p.s. lots of the process might not make sense to some, and thats okay,
now lets upload some pictures
