Well I finally got the trans oil pan off, so I could unplug the input shaft speed sensor. What I didn't know was there is another sensor the pokes up into the front pump, and I broke that, so after replacing the input speed sensor, I still spent another $130 for a harness and a filter kit.

Chipping away. Replaced the motor mounts, camshaft, lifters and trays and valve springs. Still waiting on more parts, but it's good to make progress.

all forward progress is good! Motor mounts are an underrated step, for sure.

maybe you can etch/sharpie the cam specs inside the timing cover? Cams become a mystery once they're out of the box, it seems. You just gotta remember or keep a build sheet.

Once they are in a motor who cares though? Not like it has to ever be reference again even though the truck Norris specs are as easy to find as google searching it

Excellent idea!!! Never thought of doing that.

I got her all put back together. Did a small shake down run around the block. Nothing aggressive. It still needs to be tuned, but it sounds nasty. Hopefully everything works like it's supposed to and I don't have to do anything else but change the oil and put fuel in it for a while
