Got the truck to fire off tonight! Not really a big deal to most but I have been fighting with this for over a week now and guess what, it was something SUPER simple!

BLOWIN white smoke out like its going outta style but I think it is clearing the old oil and fuel outta the exhaust from when I blew it. I have a few things to address like the starter and the intake but at least I am at the point of getting DAMN close to driving her again.

Oh and I was worried about MY build of the engine but she is pulling down 24 cranking lbs of oil pressure and as soon as it fires I am getting at least 60 #'s of running pressure!

I know

"Wheres the vid? Wheres the pics?"

They will come, it is dark and I wanted to let the battery charge tonight so I can work with her tomorrow!

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!

so glad to hear that.

my engine build is getting back on track in bout a week when i take it to the machine shop.

Sweeet..

Oh and btw

Way to go DOC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
