Ok, some progress... Simon and I pulled the old engine tonight... went very smooth and easy... doing this in my shop was the best decision yet, I dont have to worry about some hack shop that leaves the truck outside all day or takes months to do a swap... plus I know exactly what is being done at all times... and it gives me a chance to do everything I want while the engine is out... more on that later, I have some nylon sleeving going over all of the hoses and wires that I am doing myself - pics to come later.

here are a couple of updates -




taking a break from cleaning, and cleaning, and cleaning (wtf)


Engine with some more parts on it... I had the ALT bracket powder coated silver, but I am going to have it stripped, polished and cleared... got the 10 rib crank pulley on too.



Brand new 34" radiator got here the other day - thanks to silveradol33


brand new oem 2005 Efans will be here tuesday, new fuel cell is shipping on tuesday... still waiting on parts to put the new motor in... maybe a week...
Truck goes to paint, ready or not, on the 1st of May.

gotta commend you on going out of your way to take care of all the details.

All that work WILL pay off.


Sick build. Sick Truck.

dam yet agian your a big fugger lol.

I hope you take the time for some revisions in the wiring of the motor. Its looks really good outside of the engine bay, dont pollute it with wiring harness IMO. As its been said, a great build.
