Over 52,000 views to date. I really do need to install the windshield washer and finish a couple of other things. I hope it rains this afternoon; my windshield has so much pollen on it, I can barely see out of it.
Wish you lived closer; maybe you could help motivate me to drop the Deutz F4L912 into an F-150 or Dodge 1500. What fun!!!

For the last couple nights ive been researching chevy steering column disassembly, and after reading numerous threads, my decision is that I will be drilling out the pin for the shifter handle, and cutting off the tab in the engine bay vs opening that pandoras box and trying to remove those parts from the assembly. I did receive my steering linkage extension to make up for the lift!
Im using a ford V10 high torque starter (or so it says on the box). This is approximately half the size of the original MB starter, and will have some mechanical advantage working with the bigger flywheel. It fits pretty well with no interference around it-
