Good deal. I am kinda worried about first startup. I am thinking it may take awhile to fill up all the lines and cooler even if i prime the cooler and filter.

Pull the fuse for the fuel pump and crank your motor for 15 seconds a couple times. Should prime the system. But don't overheat the starter.

That, or just unplug the coil harnesses.... Either way will get the job done

This is a very nice build I just spent the last few hours reading it. I really like how simple the truck is, it really makes the whole thing look that much cleaner.

Even easier, hold the gas pedal all the way down. More than 80% TPS during cranking turns off the injectors.

I got a little more work done today. I finally got my racetronix efan harness put on the truck. It is a really nice harness. It has all weathpack connections which is what i was wanting. My old harness was starting to corrode so it was time to replace it anyways. The harness had to be shortened a little bit which is no biggy. Here are the pics, i mounted it to the pcm cover.
