I'm not calling you out on it, just saying that I never even thought of that. If I were doing it, I'd want it as identical as possible to a motor sitting in a truck and ready to run. It also wouldn't be the 1st time that what I thought was logical was completely wrong.
If I do this again, it will be a 7.3 with a bedplate, block fill and fire rings. I'll never do a 5.9. I can't even stomach the way they sound. Reminds me of a sick whale trying to give birth through a nostril. Or I might not do another 7.3, but I make enough money to make respectable from a powerstroke. I detest anything Dodge. I respect Cummins, but not enough to ditch :ford:.
