I wanna get some times on it as is before I do that though. I think it's going to run better than some may think considering stock heads and truck intake manifold.

I wasn't expecting it to run as hard as it is with the stock heads and a truck intake manifold, but it's really quite strong running.

As most of you know, I had some problems that turned out to be nothing after I got the motor and trans in. I did have to end up taking it to someone so a HUGE thanks goes out to CrazyCutter4.8 and his crew for finding the ground wire that I missed.

I've still not got the idle down as good as I would like to have it, but it's coming. Once the idle gets smoothed out, I will have a sound clip for you all to drool over.

I've got some other goodies that are planned for the truck in the near future, but they will have to wait. Again ... another huge thanks to CrazyCuter4.8 for the hookup on a couple of goodies. I will be sure to have to forward his address to my creditors so they can send him some thank you cards.
