Nice parts display.

 

[UNLIMITED_DIESEL]

Got the short block 90% done. Here are a few pictures of it going together. Today's project is to start cleaning the parts that we will be reusing from the old engine. Then the heads will go on and the long block should be complete.

I figured as much, had to joke though. Is any of the suspension stuff happening today or tomorrow?

 

[UNLIMITED_DIESEL]

Going to get the truck in here next week. Gotta clear a few things out so we have room to work on it.

***Update***

Truck went in the shop yesterday. Heads are on the block, just needs manifolds, oil pan, and front drive acc. before being dropped in. Front axle was pulled today for Dynatrac Balljoints, ICON Adj. Track Bar & 2.5" Leveling springs, and OUO 3-Link ALA's. imp:

Looking Good! Bet you are getting excited now!

 

[Black AOD]

I just wanna do a burnout and roast those old ass Terra Grapplers :rockon:

Sadly I have to be nice to it and put some miles on this fresh new motor first before any burnouts happen ha :lame:

The coating on the oil pan looks awesome. Very nice!!

Thank You sir! local guy here does all my powder coating for me. He does a kick ass job! :thumbsup:

I've been there. LOL

The struggle is real. It's all worth it in the end though!!

I hope so, I am excited.

On a side note, I think I'm copying your wheel setup lol. I'm doing 325/50/22's i know that, Its between AF 22X12 Rebel's or Independence's, I have been looking at Fuel Forged as wheel. Too many choices. So much $

 

[under construction]

Yeah not a problem copy away I like my setup a lot! Mine are the Evade wheels though. They look like the Independence but they have face plates. And you are correct, there is nothing cheap about any of the options you are looking at!! Good luck and let me know what you decide!
