Picked up some new wheels for the truck. Idgaf if it's running or not, was a good deal imo and wasn't passing it up. So when the motor is done I'll have my buddy narrow the rear end and put them on.
The rest of my parts came in but they're not worth pics, just boring shit. Still need to order a cam but waiting on ljms to reply to my email.

Really happy with the color I chose, was worried I wasn't gonna like it at first.

Converter comes back to me tomorrow, ljms custom spec cam should be in tomorrow or early next week as well. Still waiting on machine shop to finish the short block so I can assemble everything and get this bitch going. I still need to order some fittings and lines to get my fuel rails setup, also still need to decide on what catch can I want, then order. Other than that I have most of everything I can think of lol. Just a waiting game at the moment. Frame rails in the engine bay has been painted, still need to clean up the wiring cause it's dirty just from normal driving. Another long winded post but oh well lol. :dealwithit:

:lol: Yeah you did. I've been trying to be a jew and only do a little to the truck at a time to build up my bank account. I've finally talked myself into doing more, quicker, to get it over with cuz I'm not happy with the truck just yet. So I'm gonna just do it all quick and start saving again. I'm only doing accessory stuff and it's hurting a little, I can only imagine that extent of spending ha

Make sure to prepay for the block. And if it's not there when you go to pick it up, I don't know anything about it.... :cheeky:

Yeah that looks badass, have had a set of smoothed valve covers already for 6 months and haven't taken them to powder.

Crossover is done. I love AN stuff. So clean lol. Injectors don't fit right, I need bigger ones anyways so I'll get some 60# but I wanted to get it running before I changed them to save some money but oh well.

Set the heads and intake on it for a picture. Oil pump, cam, timing chain and oil pan and everything are on and ready to go. Lifters are soaking overnight then will get the heads cleaned up tomorrow and bolt them on as well after lifters. Still a lot of work to do but it's getting there. Hope to have the motor in and running this weekend for break in. I still need to get a rough base tune on the truck to break it in till I can have it tuned.
