Look at the pics on page 1 i already painted tje block satin black.

All the bolts are all rebuoldets grey or satin black. Everthing is being painted, my trucks a sunday driver and virtually new under the bonnet.

I got the heads off. The cylinders are perfect no marks nothing. Lifters are all smooth, everything is perfecr for the swap. Its all cleaned and ready to for the new parts.everything down to the dipstick is painted. Gotta use a small press to do the
truunion upgrade.

I wont be doin the install for probably 5 months..its time to put the truck away for winter soon and ill be busy sleddin...plus no point in doing theswap i wont be able to finish tuning the trucl cause of snow.

I plan on making the order with tsp in december to build the setup
