Well, the motor is now shoe-horned into the frame. We moved the cab around to make room for the cut-off blade after the headers gave us a challenge. Just a little chunk out of the frame.... The 350 and 350 are all cozily bolted in tho their new home now....Let's see...What's next? Drive-line measurements...
Thanks to Dave, Jessie, and Lance.

I picked up a new 40amp relay @ O-rileys for the driving lights and installed it. The package has a misprint on it also I found out. They have the hot wire and accesary wires reversed on it. I think this is why the first one quit working. I wired it like my drawing shows. They had 30 and 87 backwards, I don't know if that was it but it quit working and it's only a couple months old.
Just some more info. I wired them so the head light switch when pulled on to the parking lights they come on.
