Message: [QUOTE="Connor M, post: 1557508, member: 26837"] My stuff is at All Cape Machine in Hyannis. Shit, it's been a minute. I pulled the motor out of the silver truck I actually bought off a dude on here. Ran it for a little over a year, was a great truck to me, but the motor was always destined for my 250.

Anyways, we were on a time crunch. With my old man's yukon at the dealer (for five months and eleven days, in the end) my f250 was the most reliable 4 door vehicle to take on vacation. Only it didn't have an engine.

I made time to meet up with some friends I'd met through a groupchat and until then never spoken in person, it was a great experience and the truck made it. The ride on 26 in and 40 out of NC are both truly gorgeous, as is driving skyline drive. Highly recommended. After sitting for 2 years, and only about a week of shakedown, the only thing that went wrong was a caliper started dragging and I replaced it in the garage of the airbnb in Florida.

Right now, I'm still stacking parts to build a 750-800 hp capable motor with a turbo setup from shane. Although at this rate, hopefully he's not retired by the time I'm ready to build it. I got some carnage pics and some souvenirs when i finally disassembled my engine, I'll try and find the pictures later. [/QUOTE]
