Pic time.
The damn ground cable some how got in between the engine and tranny on install and I had every thing bolted until I seen it. Had to back all tranny bolts off to get this damn thing out.

Sounds mean, here is first start up video. Still a few things need to be done and still trying to figure out whats going on my dash cluster. In this video you can see my fuel gauge pegged and on rev my speedo moves?
Will not be able to work on it till this weekend.

Little update:
Efans in and working. Battery died as I left key on and ran like **** for a bit. My speedo some how fixed itself but my damn radio doesn't work now. WTF LOL
Took it for a ride after changing oil and she really moves after 4,000, but right when it starts making good power it shift or hits rev limiter at 6200. Will have that adjusted after a few miles on it. Will post up some videos tomorrow. The 5.3 got 16.8 in 1/4 mile and will test what it gets tomorrow.. Need gears, gears and more gears
