Engine almost in
I have the engine sittin where it needs to be so now I'm waiting for my friend to come over and weld up my engine towers. Cant use the stock one's cause of the new crossmember and rack and pinion. I'm hoping my hooker super comps will get here today from Jethot so I might be able to fire it up by Sun.

Nice. Careful you don't spill that beer, though.

Re: Engine almost in
Awesome motor and front end! I think I'll grab me a brew after I hit the "submit reply" button. Keep us posted this weekend on the progress.

Re: Engine almost in
Thanks for brightening those matthufham. My camera isnt to good in darker conditions. The shop I bought the engine from said it should push about 450hp. I need to find someone to do one of those desk top dyno's to compare.

Re: Engine almost in
Can't wait till you truck is all together. If this engine bay is any indication of what will come, I'm smelling a mag coverage!

Re: Engine almost in
Has the engine already been fired up and broken in by the shop?
