My schedule isn't helping me in my project. I noticed a weird shift or two the other day on the drive home from work so will be farming out the transmission/stall install on Monday. Don't want to tear up the stocker cause it goes straight in for a rebuild. Haven't ordered the motor yet. Want to get all the suspension drop parts and brakes thrown on first. The kid is driving the spare truck. Once she starts college next month I can tear it apart.

Sadly I'm not. Got everything installed friday and hooked the battery up and the starter engaged. Pretty sure the solenoid is bad, or I have two wires touching....but I had to go to work, so I won't be able to get back into it until tomorrow.

Hope it's something simple!
My transmission/stall is going in tomorrow (trans did some weird things last week so decided to swap before it strands me. Upper control arms will be here Weds. Will do the pump while the bed is off to do the C notch. Dropping it 4/6. Need to order the pump from racetronics.. Stocker is taking a crap. Can't drive it much till I get the trans cooler bolted in. Will also do the bigger brakes while I'm there. Haven't decided on exhaust yet. Thinking I want full 3" duals with an x pipe but might be overkill. Also not sure on pipe clearance with rear drop.
Waiting on your thoughts before I order the motor....
Also looking at a Blueprint Engines 427 supposed to be 625hp. They are about 2 hours from me.
Sorry for the long rant... Starting to get pumped for my build.
