last update before X-mas:

Wiring harness is back in the truck, we will finish the part that goes over the engine physically on the truck so all the lengths are perfect:


few pics of the exhaust mounted back up, second pic shows repaired muffler:




and lastly the dual catch cans I will be running, one for each bank, no check valves:

 

Its getting close Grip, good job!

 

OMG it's close, or are you gonna decide to powdercoat the frame and rebuild all the suspension :wtf:

 

nope, almost done, I do have suspension and exterior mods sitting in boxes(lol) but those will go on at a much later date, maybe after my deployment

this is a long term truck for me, I have no intentions of selling it anytime soon.

 

DAMN DEVIN.... IM GETTING EXCITED TO SEE/HEAR THIS THING

 

yep, me too, just a matter of how long the last few details take.....I left the battery on a trickle charger for a week so it's good to go.
Still need to run some fuel through the lines to make sure any metal shavings are out(even though I was very careful, you never know).
Have to pre-lube the engine with the break-in oil (never done that before using a hand pump, who knows how that will work out)
Have to get a start-up tune loaded
Have to go over everything with a fine tooth comb, all the standard type stuff
Pray for no leaks!

BTW, on a recent "chop cut rebuild" (speed channel) they had Art Carr on there from CPT, the guy he had rebuild their TH400 was the same guy who built my 4L80e! lol, I got a kick out of that

 

ARE YOU LIKE ME?? TRIPLE CHECK ALL THE BOLT TORQUES?? WHEN I BUILT MY DRAG CAR MOTOR I DID THAT THE FIRST TIME I BUILT IT.... THEN I REALIZED I SPENT AN EXTRA 3 HOURS I COULDVE BEEN DOING SOMETHING ELSE

 

With the new year, do we have any new developments?

 

BTW grip you could try preheating the oil in the oven for like 5 minutes just to get it warm and flowing a little better???

 

I just may do that!
