few hours of prep tonight after festive mother gatherings
she cranks when i hit the button, all harness that i need is plugged in and 95% tidyd up.  trans, steering, engine, coolant filled and ready for fire.  MAF and filter setup done. 


remote fuel fill parts bought, but i was wrong on guessing pipe size, its a wire like 2 1/4" pipe size?



ryan you want to give me a hand tomorrow?  i think i am close as i can be and ill print shit out tomorrow more for my year.  im not sure your harness is the same as mine because it is a blue and red harness. 

couple wires to hack into, and slap in a new fuel pump relay she will be good to go.

Is this one of the motors you can turn the intakemainfold around so the filter is in the back so you can run it into the cab if you wanted to

test driven.  this motor has a bit of seat o pants power o yes. 


thanks for help ryan. 

she has good oil pressure, no noises and purrs like a chetaaa

after a few starts the iac started behaving plugged in, must have been a learning thing its good to go now.



awesome power.  truck fully wired and cleaned up and test driven.  may need to pick the ass up with the janitor fully bleed the cooling system, but i think i realized this motor has a 195 stat and not a 160 stat so its probably fine.



on to little stuff like hood, sway bar, and race prep.  should be good to go for this weekends race.





front driver upper king pin fucked, note to self to investigate.

That... was not even close to the problem. O_o

One kingpin now welded to the inner C; threads stripped.

Other hinges done. It is late.

Pretty much race ready.

it will need at least one more patch on the inside, no more vluc work needed, unless he will fix the part that still has a small leak right over where he repaired the sidewall, and slime will do the rest i guess.  expensive tire.
