Well, wanted the truck running so got to installing the engine with a buddy of mine and got it done in 6 hours. Had minor fuel leaks form the high pressure fuel pump, but got that taken care of and was on the starter for 30 seconds and she fired

Well drove the truck around some today, have about 45 miles on the engine and doin good.

Here's a slow *** video of it. The S475 spools faster with more fuel behind it
