6am Saturday can't get here soon enough eh buddy? It's gonna be a long day of driving to get that engine...should be a fun road trip though. As long as we don't get murdered in KC getting BBQ....I'm almost as excited as you to get the new engine. At least this one shouldn't go the way of the first one and I end up pulling you home again LOL

West Chicago.
No Byron we're not going to that BBQ place. I don't want to get shot!
I told you Luke!! I tried to get you to sell it! I'll tell you something though. When you do sell it later holler at me. If I can get another one for what I paid for this one, I'll buy it!

Well I'm glad I'm not going now. We had a bad house fire in town, I've been out here since midnight and we are still cleaning up

I had a few things to do first...... Like sleep. Lol! 24 hours driving nonstop is tough. LOL
I got the stock bottom engine out, installed the oil pan, put in push rods, installed injectors, stuffed in the dual hpops, and repainted the engine. I am still waiting on the wastegate to arrive before I can put the engine in. Hopefully tomorrow. I'll post some pics tomorrow too.

No that was of the new engine. They were both light blue to begin with. The girdle and billet rods were in the new one.

Does the new motor have any kind of partial fill?
Some say it's good to do and other say you don't need it. Just curious.
