update...SHE'S ALIVE!!!!...heard her run for the first time today and im just straight up excited. its just a matter of time before shes on the road. the only thing is that sound I hear from the starter(the sounds of metal on metal) is there when the engine is running. my buddy thinks I probably didn't tighten the flywheel properly so we gotta check that out. Also there's a fuel leak from the line running from the pump to the rail...its leaking right at the pump end. and then I lost the fittings for my trans cooler line to go into the radiator. still have a little more work to do but that engine running is a HUGE breakthrough.

heres the video of the motor starting...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZEg...ature=youtu.be
