I got the motor set in today AGAIN bolted to the trans and framerails. Gotta put all the other top **** on and brackets and everything else. It took alot longer to do what I ahd to do to make it work than I thought it would. I wont bother posting what I did cause I dont feel like defending myself and getting flamed. I stayed up till 4:30 putting the motor together and could barely hold my eyes open so I cleared all the **** out of the back seat of my truck and put my hoodie on and put a jacket under my head and proceeded to sleep like **** for the next 3 hours. I slept for a total of about 4 hours and it was the worst sleep EVER. The only other time I slept in the back seat of my truck I was exrtemely drunk and had a girl with me so it wasnt as bad. It was pretty damn cold but I turned the heater on fter about an hour and it wasnt too bad after that. Should turn the key on it again tomorrow around 4 or so barring anymore problems. Im going to bed so Ill post up tomorrow or Friday what happened I am completely and totally beat.

Thanks guys. I dragged *** today and didnt get it all done. Everything is done in the engine bay though. Need to bolt the TC up, plug in the oil level sensor, bracket that holds the trans lines, starter and fill everything up with fluids and start it up. If it doesnt act right when I start it up Im finding a 6L locally and dropping it in and be done with it for now and mess with the 418 later on or drop my damn 5.3 back in do a compression test on it and hope things are good depends on how pissed I am.
