Started things off by pinning the crank...


The new ARP

Got the blower on FINALLY!

The stupid headers didn't fit, and I had to resort to the stupid manifolds...




Mounted all the accesories, and the billet 100mm idler pullys


Even got the belt on...mounted the coils and installed the MSD wires too


Just a tad of a clearence issue here...easy fix though...cowl hood

more than likely ur gonna have to ditch that oil filler. Just leave the cap on top of the valve cover, looks alot cleaner that way!
excellent build, can't wait to see some videos!

I will not be making my timeline now though. have to wait on the Y pipe to arrive since I had to use the manifolds. I will be pulling them back off to clean and paint them, I was test fitting them in so didn't get to it. I know they look like **** right now.

Ran the Speartech harness today and started wiring the engine.

Mounted the TAC Module to the firewall.

The wiring on the top of the passenger side and the Dr X harness for the TB

Mounted the polished Canton tank for the heat exchanger as well today.

Mounted the starter and Installed the battery cable with the junction box, and routed it in the factory location to the starter.



Still need to clean them, but I got the heater hoses cut down and installed as well.

I also did more wiring, and removed more of the old harness that was not needed under the truck as well. This is a front shot of where I am at right now.

For what it is worth...I see a lot of views, but hardly any comments...please give me your feedback, advice, suggestions....whatever. It will only help. Thanks
