All right some more updates.

Rear diff is now setup here are the specs:

2.588” desired pinion height
2.590” actual pinion height w/ .066” shim
19” pinion bearing preload
.008” backlash

Paint was super poopie and clumpy but you get the idea, not that it even matters when you are physically checking tolerances.





The frame was needled and cleaned and then brushed with a rust prohibitor.


A bunch Parts should be in today, all the fittings for the fuel system. All vibrant stuff was on back order. Switched to Fragola to get them in time.

The new 4:10 front diff and trans case adapter should be here as well.

Should have the fuel system plumbed and in today or tomorrow.

All right more updates

Rear axles is all built. Just Need to cut off shock mounts and weld on arb tabs, new rear shock tabs then paint and reinstall.



Fuel system is run. Ran into a snag with the sending unit. I had proper submersible hose and oiketer clamps for the sending unit. I ordered 3 sizes and still bought the wrong one. FML

We got the sending unit measured and ordered new holley submersible hose in the correct ID on the way. Other than that The bulkhead fitting for the feed is installed and the dual pumps are in the basket with the billet collector. All lines are run and filters installed. Went with the Magnafuel motion regulator kit. Love the location makes for a pretty clean setup.



Got a lot of the accessories and BS installed now, Ran into a few issues of course. I'm using injector connectors from Fuel Injector Clinic to convert to truck tops to match the harness. Seemed like a good enough idea, fast forward it now looks like eight monkey dicks hanging off the injectors. Need to find a solution to that.

Pulled the turbski to get the compressor polished.
-16an fittings welded on the water pump and Thermostat housing.



Pumps mounted in the stock sending unit basket. Used a billet racetronix manifold that both pumps plug into and feed to one line. Then Reworked it now the stock feed will now be the 6an return and used a bulkhead fitting for a -8an feed. Unit uses a racetronix full rewire kit and dual pump relay setup.

Just curious,
Is there a reason why you didn't go ahead and paint the engine block while it was out of the truck?

Its was super scaly, Would have spent a month of Sundays with a needler or angle grinder to prep it. My OCD hates that its a ******* turd biscuit, but it just wasn't worth the time plus its going to be covered up with all the **** on top anyways, You're not really going to see it.

The whole topic bothers me and my sanity to be honest lol

I can't wait until like 4 months down the road when I bring it up again now that you said that

dsiegmmm

Ill burn this truck to the ground lol, More probable is that this things see's 30psi at the track and that block descales itself with a rod. lol
