That is cool Ryan, hope you'll be back on the road soon.
I wish I could skip a years worth of house payments (but keep the house ) so I could use all that dough and finish my truck and get married...I can always dream I guess! ...Jeff |

Ryan, now is a perfect time to clean up those wires and through some paint in the engine bay. Your gonna have such a sweet engine in there you dont want wires and firewall throughing it off.
Looks great, keep up the good work, all the time and money you spend is going to pay off. Keep us posted as you go.

Sweet setup Ryan. Can't wait to see it running in person. What wire looms are you going to use? Also like Eddie said get in there and clean up the engine bay to get it all ready.
