Well it starts and runs but I need to shim the starter tomarrow and add more coolant but it does run again! I also just ordered my x pipe for the exhaust also so soon as it comes in I get to fire up my welder...

I've come to the conclusion that I am not an exhaust guy!!! I don't have the patients for it. But my x-pipe is in now on to the mufflers and tailpipes... I need to order some clamps that are made for butt connections so I can remove the tail pipes then I can mount mufflers...

Well took my dad out for a quick spin in the truck today! He loved it... Hammered on it a bit and not real happy with the convertor but it will be fine for a driver. Still have a small leak up front between timing cover and oil pan with the one piece gasket. Don't know what I can do but deal with it. It's so minor I'm not going to worry bout it. Hope someone gets control of gas prices though, $3.89 gal premium sucks!!!

Most people don't realize what PITA exhausts are to build. It's not really that hard unless you try to make it look perfect. There's so many angles it gets real complicated real quick. Yours looks good though!

Well turns out my truck has lived up to its name AGAIN!!! Checke the oil the other day and there's water in it!!! Pulled the intake and sure enough gaskets didn't seal on the back so it was running right into the pan! SO... Now I will put yet another set of intake gaskets on and use a dab of ultra copper sealant around all the water ports instead of high tach spray I usually use and hope for the best!!! I can't win for loosing with this dang engine..half tempted to call jegs and have them send me a 260 horse crate motor because that's about all I can afford!!

Yea me too this engine thing is irritating!! I was told by a guy that builds engines and he told me there's 3 P's to engines;
Power equals = Performance; Performance = Problems and we all know what problems = $$$ and that I'm all out of! I wish I had the $ just to buy a nice hi perf motor ready to drop in and go...

Well I should know tomarrow if my intake sealed up. I used ultra copper gasket sealer on the water jackets and a 1/4" bead on both end rails just like I've done on my other motors so we will see. Last time I relied on the gasket to seal so hopefully it was my own fault it leaked... Wish me luck!

Oh yea my truck runs and drives just haven't had time to get it out before the snow. No coolant leaks just a small front pan leak! Don't know why but its seeping oil between the one piece gasket and pan! Oh well! My video won't load for some reason.

Well I know the truck will start right up after sitting in 35 degree weather for 6 hours. Did some work on the shop not the truck and got a ceiling put in tonight! 6.5 hrs 18 sheets and a few drinks and laughs...

I though you were talking about the truck interior. Looks nice should save on some heat when you get it insulated. Never can have enough light.
