Stabbed the motor in Qwyktruk tonight

[QWYKTRUK]

Well, it has been almost 16 months since I have had a motor in Qwyktruk. Tonight my buddy Dino and another friend came over and helped me put the new bullet in. It was quite a bit of work and since this motor has never been in a vehicle I was happy to see that almost every precaution I took paid off.
Since it is a custom build I have had to either make or special order every part from the fuel lines to the billet flexplate to the custom radiator hoses, MSD distributor,etc... Here are a few pics taken while we were finishing up. Tomorrow will be another task to get everything hooked up so I can get it over to the fabricator to modify the stainless headers to fit this motor. Then to another place for the 3 1/2" exhaust , then back home to plumb up the intercooler and it's radiator and finally to drive the damn thing.



Dino , love ya brother!! Thanks for all your help!

Happy me ! glad to have it back in the truck!!

Some of the parts I was talking about

You can see the billet has no welds! Nice and true, no wobble! I had to send the other one back cause it was warped like a potato chip.
