concur - generally speaking, not a big fan of the truck overall - but the craftmanship on the engine install looked pretty darn good i thought.

I was trying to see where the gas cap was. Probably in the bed. It looks good even though there are a couple things I would do a little different.

yep - pls note, I was only posting this for the engine - plenty of things I'd do different on the truck itself also - but to each his own. But - as for his engine install, I think he did a real nice job - very meticulous and lots of attn to detail.
