well worked in the garage a little more today, I think my done date is going to be pushed back... you see by the end of the post.

Fired up that heater and holy crap, I could work out in shorts even on low so I had to turn it on and off to retain good heat.

Since I'm removing the AC I need to plug up all the stuff that comes with it, so I don't need this anymore

I plugged that hole up with some plastic I had laying around, then I plugged the big hole that goes into the engine bay for the AC lines

This is why I may push the date back, I was going to just put the motor in and drive with a stock 6.0 till I build my new motor, but have everything done... now I'm thinking I'll build this one up at least somewhat.

the motor looks perfectly fine to me? did you expect the pistons to shine?

naw I was kinding of being sarcastic, but oh well I know it's pretty good, well my motor build will come later, I'm just going to freshen this thing up a little bit make it look good and then build my new one on the side so I can drive this thing asap, so don't worry guys!

Goal for new motor though is 700+hp
