Thread: This is going to take a while

  1. Back To Top    #1

    This is going to take a while

    The build has finally started. Modifying the floor, moving the firewall and relocating the engine is on the list. Not to mention a frame off complete build.


    The gear:
    source- iPad
    tweeter- accuton c30-6-358
    midrange- accuton c168-6-990
    woofer- acoustic elegance true IB (not sure what size yet)
    processor- helix dsp ultra
    amplifiers- zapco reference 200.2 x4 (modified by Matt Roberts), reference 1100.1

    The starting point.

    Plenty of room behind the cab for the motor. This will allow the woofer to be located in the firewall Click image for larger version.

    discussing with the builder where the radiator can fit without interfering with the woofer.

    The next step is to get the new floor in, mock up the seat locations so we can get the midrange and tweeter locations finalized.

    I'm glad to see this finally gain some traction. Will it be done in time for my meet in November?

    I think that would be pushing things but you never know. If the interior isn't finished but he truck is running and painted, I'll show up with the gauge cluster zip tied to a bracket if I have to.

    Are you saying those are pictures where you're designing the engine around your sound system?

    What vehicle is/was that?
    Measure with mics, mark with chalk, cut with torch, grind to fit, sand to finish, paint to match.
    Updated Justin tuning sheet (Justin and Erica tuning companion for SMAART and REW)
    Do it for them.

    Yes, engine, firewall, floor……and the truck is a 1939 ford coe. Going to be a daily driver service truck.

    We found a LT2 6.2 motor from a 2022 corvette that has about 20k miles. We are checking to see if anyone makes an aftermarket wire harness/computer for it since it is so new. If such a thing exists, that is the motor that will go in the truck. Wish me luck.....I really want to use this engine.
