Body mounts are already loose. I replaced them when I got rid of the body lift and haven’t tightened them back up. I’ve got some 3” wide ratchet straps we use for hauling hay that I’ll put on there tomorrow and try to suck everything in.

Got the frame pulled in and mount installed. It’s kinda scary how easily the frame bends with a pair of ratchet straps. You can see how far back the whole mount had to slide. I went to put the t-case in and either I didn’t have it clocked right or I’m gonna have to run a 1” body lift to clear it which I really don’t wanna do. Floor might just need some loving from a sledge.

Few love taps from a sledge to the floor and she fit like a glove.
Yes, that is what she said.
Driveshafts are going to fit good enough for the time being. Still want to have them cut and lengthened accordingly but to get on the road they will be fine.

Did a few small things. Installed the injectors. Installed the battery box. Started laying out the fuel injection harness. Took inventory of what sensors and adaptors I need to order. Trying to find a place to put the coil and FPR. ECU and MSD will go in the cab under the dash.

Not a real exciting update but making progress. Got the valve covers bolted on. Reordered header bolts 3 times cause I can’t read a tape measure but those will go on tomorrow or next day. Torque converter is bolted to the flex plate.
While researching mounting spots for the Holley ECU I stumbled across the factory build sheet.
ECU is going to fit nicely in the glovebox.
