I was just sitting here staring at that picture, and my roommate asked if I was looking at **** because of the grin on my face.

I think the truck is going to pull right! Extra weight and the massive vacuum! Sure does look exciting!

I had an issue with the engine making a clunking sound at a particular part of rotation when I turned it over by hand. I finally figured out with some help that I had one of the cam bolts in the cam retainer instead of the sprocket, and since that bolt is longer than the intended ones it went into where the crank was. I fixed that and all is well, but that set me back about 3 hours. I pulled the old engine today and have the new one sitting in the rails, but ran out of light before I could do anything but the motor mounts.

I am going to run NA for a few days so I can go pick up my 80e, and do a little christmas shopping. Then its downtime again for the trans, fuel system, and turbo installation with any luck ill be finished before Christmas

all i have to say is once thats in your truck, you will have one of the fastest lifted gas powered rigs around. i just hope the suspension is ready if you are to take it down the track. in for a sick build.
