Dang. :( Very next post exposes the truth. No suckers on here today. That was the second start-up after it ran for about a minute. Nathannial has the actual initial start-up vid we're working on posting. FWIW, it's been idling for about 15 minutes now, with no leaks, aside from a couple open bungs for boost reference. Gonna let it warm up at idle, then start assembling it so I can drive it over the remainder of the weekend to work out any potential issues, and break-in before it hits the rollers most likely Tuesday.

There's a good chance it won't actually hit the street until Monday with all the little things left to do. We'll give it our best shot, but don't want to chance causing a problem rushing into anything. It's been idling for over an hour now, and still no leaks anywhere, good oil pressure, trans puts power to the wheels, brakes, steering, and all that other important stuff are good to go, so back to work, I guess.

If you would have got the color code from ford you could have had your filter the same color as your truck and left the right front fender off
