Thanks, orange looks cool when done right imo. But everyone I talked to said it would look like chit with the color I want to paint the truck.

Sorry I didn't make it over to introduce myself. Building the track took right til start time, then I was stuck in the scraper tractor all night.

At least one set of cut tires that I spotted also.

I was worried that you guys were dumping too much water to it. But it turned out awesome!

Cut tires you say?

There's nothing better in this part of the hobby than assembling new parts. I don't mind repairing stuff, but the lack of dirt and cramped space is nice.

Today's update.

Valve train finished up.
Converter bolts installed.
Trans lines installed.
Drive shafts installed.
And a bunch of parts cleaned up.

Got the injectors, rails, and lines in tonight. Finished up installing the rocker boxes and valve covers. And then installed the ported intake just to realize that the bolts I got were about 5mm too long. Oh well ill fix that next.

The motor sure looks nice! Love the ported heads.

Thank you sir! I am hoping they help push me to my fuel only goals.

Getting closer to the end result.

That is going to be one bad ass rig I am a bit jealous!

Thanks man. It's turned into an obsessive labor of love. Really want to sand blast and paint the frame and suspension but if I don't make a pass soon I'll probably have a mental break down hahaha. So it's on next winters project list.

Made some noticeably progress this afternoon. Hope to get it running by Monday have an appointment at the body shop next week.

Looks good!

Thanks sir. Not everything I wanted to do got done this time around. But it's pretty neat. Hope to have it done so I can come to road kill nights and DNR

For sure I wanna see what she's got on the track. Pretty sure the same dyno is suppose to show up so I won't be running the rollers yet.

Thanks man. If I want to go bigger all I have to do is put it in my red tow pig. Then I'll have a Virgin low miles engine to start over with haha
