Answer:

Get an engine crane simply lower the motor on the mounts, and hook up all the wires,plugs etcThere are so many possibilities with this truck i get excited just thinking about it okayYES, you can put a dual exhaust on this truck NO PROBLEMI got the same vehicle that im going to re-build in the future but im putting a 454 big block heave Chevy in minelooks up gauges and exhaust set-ups on google they're are tons of possibilities with this truck man GOOD-LUCK
I had my new house done with celluloseWalls and ceilingsIt is awesomeThe bills are cheap to heat and coolIt cost a little more initially than fiberglass but it is mold, insect and fire resistantPlus it stops sound from the outdoors.
If you mean cellulose as in shredded plastic, then i agree, although it does raise the fire hazardIf you mean cellulose like cellulose, I wouldn't do it - the stuff is extremely flammableI know that the insulation companies were working on a plastic insulation - haven't heard much about it for a while.
Blow in cellulose insulation is what is in my atticI did not use it in my walls because it tends to settle and then you have a gap at the top of your wallsIt is ideal for adding extra insulation in any atticYou can also hand spread the insulationbut you get a much better result when you use a blowerThe blower can be rented from your local lumber yard or building supply centerThe blower will fluff up the cellulose which is one of the reason it gives a better R value.
Unfortunately Cellulose does settle and becomes a fire hazardIf you are environmentally conscience check into the fire treatment they use in cellulose, it should change your mindI'm hoping a new wave of insulation will be coming from recycled plastic bottles but until then there is a none irritating fiberglass blown in insulation that looks like cottonI believe it's made by Certainteed and called insulsafe.
