Tow rig questions - too many projects

I have no problem driving for it if I had the time. Just not going to ditch my kids at practice that I am supposed to be running to go get parts for my Burb. If it was after baseball season I'd be running to get it.

By no means was this specifically pointed at you just sparked a random thought that I see come up all the time.

I definitely get it, surprises me when people do that that actually have time. In the offseason it's fun to grab a couple of buddies and make a parts run for a night.
 
@Blaze, where is this 12v setup....I haven't seen your post in the hauling section....I am sure someone can get it from point A to point B.....and probably C to D as is often the case.

Everyone here is here to help you make the decisions that will make your life more difficult.....

I don't mind hauling stuff either for someone. Let me know @Blaze

I found a guy who has done the swap and he's been feeding me all the details. The drivetrain will fit with no problem, he said minor BFH to the firewall. Sent me pics, definitely easily doable. He also showed me how to mount the intercooler. Modify the core support, not an issue, also sent me pics. My burb has hydroboost brakes. The guy also told me where to get the compressor mount and which compressor to buy to work with the factory AC. Fuel system, yes I know that needs to be changed. My truck has already been set up for manual trans. Clutch pedals and hydraulic master already in it. My exhaust was shit and I chopped it all off anyway. Guy also told me where to get the tach controller. And how to use the alternator.

I mean, this guy has told me the majority of what I need to do. I honestly wasn't even considering the swap because I didn't want to deal with the difficulty until this guy gave me all the info. He's got the exact same Burb as mine, no body lift, no diff drop, no cowl hood.

Only problem is that it is 5 hours away. :(

5 hours which way? I travel to Albemarle & Concord on a regular basis (more regular now that its deer season) & could give it a ride in my F250. I also drive 30k+/year for work around eastern NC, but I doubt an engine/trans/t-case would fit in my work truck with as full as the bed stays.

EDIT - multiple trips are always an option for the work truck, but @Croatan_Kid can vouch for how full the F150 bed stays. Plus I'd be down for a wrenching day (after deer season) since you're only 15-20 minutes down the road!
