When I built my 6.0, my break in consisted of cranking it for the first time got it to operating temp and checked all fluids then loaded it on the trailer and put it on a dyno and thrashed the hell out of it

exactly what kind of help are you looking for? motor swap, or just the break in? it's really not too hard and any questions you have can be answered quickly here. dont be afraid to get your hands dirty. it's the only way to learn

I don't wanna work on this thing by my self, fooling around with a 500+pound motor and something goes wrong is not really my mug of beer,plus with two or more people it goes faster.
