i have to look but i think it is .032 ss with a .011 protrusion. I have this same setup on my superduty cummins swap i run 60 lbs of boost daily and nos once in awhile and havent had a problem in 3 years. So i am sticking with if it aint broke dont fix method we will see what 500-600 hp will do to it lol.

Could you post some more pictures of how you did the Dana 60 swap that is a very interesting route. If a guy didnt want to lift his truck or leave it as close to stock height as possible could he do it using your method?

THanks

alright guys got some stuff done along the last couple weeks. I got the entire shortblock done all new gaskets bearings orings in the block arp head studs and rebuilt the p/s pump. I also got started on porting the head. My plan is to have the entire drivetrain rebuilt by the beginning of summer and in the frame for a test fit .

Got the majority of the frame boxing done. And had one of my buddy's cut me some motor mounts. Now I just have to gring the frame. And in with the trans and motor.
