Timing cover gasket set, oil pan gasket set, water pump. All associated cleaning and maintenance for the afore mentioned tasks.

A mean cussing was first directed towards the engineer that came up with those seal designs...mid-cussing I realized the engineer was probably being held back by a bean counter so the cussing was redirected.

Sold some parts off of the old 305 to help finance the 6.0 swap. I will be ordering some Dirty Dingo mounts for the truck so I can start that process. This upcoming weekend should be busy. I plan to take out all the old wiring, factory A/C and most of the interior to start the clean up process. Once all that is done I am going to drag the truck down to the local car wash and blast the engine bay to get rid of all the grease and dirt. Hunting season is over so now it is truck season!!

I took my 87 to the shop to have the brakes power bleed. Also having the PS box replaced. The intake is leaking anti freeze, so having it fixed. And having the rear brake line moved out of the way so I can C-Notch the passenger side frame.
