I am. All I have left on this truck is to dump fluids in it and do the break in. Im out of state right now for a few weeks. It should be running within 2 weeks of me getting back. Really wanting to get the truck dialed in before I take it to the track. Shooting for 11's in the 1/4.

My only suggestion is get rubber or urethane mounts for the engine and trans.

Heres a little better video today. Truck fired right up. My leaking steering box seemed to have went away. Going to do a filter change and top of the oil. Need to get somewhat of an exhaust on to get a tune.

My power steering on my S-10 leaked until it go to its own happy spot of fluid levels... It never poured out, but leaked just enough it would be on the frame. Pump never moans and power steering is always working good on my little truck. I was told to put the smaller 2.8L pulley on it because of my engine's closeness to the steering box, but once everything is bolted down, it has plenty of room and does not hit the box or pulley or belt at all.

Keep an eye on it and also check your fittings after a couple days driving for tightness. Be safe.. Congrats on getting it running.
