I got a little busy on this thing the last couple days. I needed some time away from my business 24/7 schedule. Obviously from the pics I have quite a bit of the motor together. We tweaked the injection pump to put a little more juice out. Studded the top end of the motor. Threw a new timing gearset on. Beadblasted the intake and front engine cover. Painted it chevy orange to go with its new surroundings. I'm now waiting for the lower end girdle kit and the dmax fan, H/O water pump and 180 hi flow thermostat to show up before I bolt up the oil pan and toss the accessories back on. I was going to add a fluidampr to it but I've deceided to hold off for a little while because I still need to purchase the intercooler and piping kit. Maybe once I've sold the ranger I'll pony up the cash for the fluidampr. In the mean time I'll be tearing the front clip off the gmc pictured and removing the vacuum power brakes, engine, trans, and heater dog house. I'll give it all a bath and paint up all the tin under the hood.
