No more pics really today, but I got the cam in, timing equipment, oil pump, and windage tray.. what I still lack is the pickuptube bolt lol. I dont have one, so dealership will be in my agenda tommorow. Should have it wrapped up tommorow.

DONE annnndd DONE!! Slap her in and turn the key! She looks nice on that engine stand but would look sexier in an engine bay.

Stock truck intake for now. May get something secret and special this summer =)

Doing swap today, so far so good. Just need to get those damn transmission to engine bolts off and I can pull it out!

Well I have almost everything reconnected with the new motor now, just need a few more sensors plugged in and the intake manifold and it will be ready to start, once I get my PCM in the mail that is.

PICS!:

Thats a healthy looking set-up!! AHAHAHAH...that's a really nice engine block lifting tool ya got there...where could someone like me find such an great tool?

 

So how she running? You get the tune problem figured out and the brakes fixed and everything? Dyno time yet??

 

The tune still isnt done, had trouble getting in touch with tuner. The brakes arent too bad, but I havent ordered that hydroboost component yet, still looking for one. I am waiting on a new tranny before I put her on the dyno lol. I have given her plenty of miles and shes broken in now, and in a few hundred more miles i'll be switching to synthetic again, hurrah.
