I got it running today, but I belive it needs a lot of tuneing changes. Right now the tune is to far of to drive. I'll post up some pics later on today.

Here are some pics of the build. I managed to get everything installed and running in 3 days, 4 days since. I recived the engine.








This is what happens when you start to fill your engine with coolant and hear it running out the back of the motor. Then call your engine builder and ask what the hell. Then have him tell you how you forgot to put the coolant block off blocks on the rear of the heads and now get to install them that the engine is all together and in the truck!

Thanks! It's a 2.8 pulley. Once I get the tune straightened out in the next couple of days I'll be able to let everyone know how it go's and get some video clips up!

Nice work chief!
Glad to see you wasted no time getting the engine in and running. Now it's time to turn the digital wrenches...........
Guess I should have had Rex install a plug in the passenger side head

Good luck and thanks for posting the pics of your install.

awsome work, glad to see you got that installed! I notice you did not use the front coolant balance tube between the heads?? I would suggest installing that asap.

Ya, thats where I messed up. I installed the blocks you see in the pic up front instead of the balance tube and nothing in the rear of the heads. Oh well at least my only mistake was a little one.

OK, good! Those coolant block off's bite everyone in the *** at least once.
Just to clear it up, you have the crossover re-installed in the front?

Richard not to worry, it wasn't your fault. Just a mistake that I made.
