Havent been on too much! I need to update this thing....well shortly after getting the new cam tuned the motor developed a noise in the bottom end its been sittin since end of april....Were about to pull the motor out and Im gonna be dropping in a stock 6.0 if the deal goes right! Probably just gonna drive the truck normal this summer fix the 5.7 and have it back in sometime towards the end of the year....im unsure of how much damage the motor has so I think this would be the best bet to her back on the road for now! Then one day il turn this 6.0 in a 408

Did you get all of the DBW harness and control box?

If so you wanna sell it off? I wanna set up my 79 with DBW, easier to set up cruise control.
