Did you use the T-Bird Turbo's intecooler, or a Grand National intercooler?
Where's the battery now?
Nice setup!

Hey Mike, Thanks for the coment. The intercooler is from a renalt RV diesel. We had to lower the inner fender 2 inches. Since the truck has a 2 inch body lift it worked well. The batttery is now on the right side of the truck. We also changed the air intake which is off a 98 dodge pickup. The electric fans also freed up a few hoarses.This year we are changing the exhaust part of the turbo with one off a mercedes 300D. We have already changed the exhaust of the turbo to get rid of the 90 degree bends. The best mod was the auto conversion with change in stall speed on the converter and change in the planitary gears which makes 1st and 2nd geared lower. Even with the auto conversion we shaved 3 seconds off the 0-60 mph times. The truck is now a lot more fun to drive.
