Default Started my head swap on 6.0l

Finally started on my head swap for the 04 ecsb. Got as much taken off as i could until the rain shut me down.
Still a good ways to go but at least now i want to get it done so i can drive the truck with some new ponys under the hood!!!!
Just thought i would share since i'm excited about doin it finally.

A set of 317 Stage II worked heads from Richard at WCCH.
Milled just a bit to give me about 10.1 cr. But full job done on em with the stage II.
I'm ready to feel the new power.

lol, i may do that cause i'd like to cram them into getting done this weekend. Only problem is i have to work cause i'm on a deadline for a house to be done.
So i gotta go to work then come home in the afternoon like i did today and work at it some.
It has been raining alot though so i might make a trip to the greatness that is Wal-Mart some time tongiht or tomorrow though.

Project rcsb is on minor hold till i finish this one.
I thought about it and since i got the rcsb i ahve not had much desire to tear into this one and get it done....so i'm gonna force myself to get this one done then do the new truck.
I figure about a month and i'll start to order parts for it.
Just gotta do the heads on the 6.0...replace aa bad starter and a bad oil pan gasket.
Then take it to the driveline shop and have my shims corrected to fix the vibration....plus while it's there get em to instal my 3.73 gears.
Then just toss a 3200-3400 convertor in it and call it a day.
I know i'm lazy though so i guesstimate this taking me a month to complete lol.
