Looking more and more like an engine!

 

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

No rollers for this truck for awhile, never been much of a dyno fan. weight and trap tell me how much im makin

 

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