Now I just need to find a marauder to drop it in!
Is there any guides or tips for dropping a complete terminator in? I found some guides on an eaton swap, but Ive never personally seen under a marauder.
If anyone has tips id love to hear them!:beer:

The Cobra front skirt uses a different accessory mounting configuration than a Marauder, so a direct bolt-in will require notching the frame.
Better to go with the OEM Marauder cover and buy custom brackets for mounting the alternator and blower belt tensioner (MM.net member gortch makes the brackets) to save you the work of notching. This will also require going with a Metco or LFP lower mounting hub to get the correct pulley alignment.
Also, the Teminator runs a lower compression, so you can prolly crank up the boost a bit through a larger lower/smaller upper pulley combination.

Like Cheesehead said. Use the Marauder front cover and the brackets along with the Metco lower hub and pulley. Will make life quite a bit easier.

Also, isn't the oil pan and pickup tube different on the Cobra vs the Marauder pan and tube? Those have to be switched too correct???
