Starting my engine build

Normally, since none of us are perfect and few of us are professionals, you build up a set of "bugs" that need to be fixed, but if you don't stop along the way to fix those, they just accumulate so that when you want to go out and test your new brakes you find out it stalls instead of driving. Too hard to fix multiple things at once, so get it back up and running right in between projects.

Hope that makes sense.

Yep I'm mowin what your growin I'd like to get the truck all the way into the garage and up pretty high on jack stands while doing the suspension too. No point in breaking my back and trying to squeeze under this thing. Pulling it in will be much easier with a running truck. I'll have to resist the urge to romp on it I guess until the whole truck is ready lol
