Square body d-max swap

I thought this would be easier swap,every part around engine needs some kind of modification, because it is van engine hoses,intake piping and wiring harness are diffrent that pickup
Made gas pedal braket and started to wiring ,still have to open trans oilpan and swap wiring harness in side transmission and fab external wiring harness, few days and i can test engine
 
LS Swaps are the worst and most expensive.
I did a couple in the Race Shop in the past.
A crime.
Big Chevy 454 tossed away.

Nothing lines up but the aftermarket motor mounts.
Lose 3 inches ground clearance.
Engine bay looks Retarted also.
 
Some progress ,truck starts and runs and everything fits under the hood
Still have to make exhaust ,some intercooler piping,front drive shaft and lotsof small stuff IMG_20190421_143239.jpg IMG_20190421_143256.jpg

I have been looking at used Miller Bobcats recent.

Not possible ant other welding methods outside in extremes.
Need a building shelter.
