I'll have to find someone to come video it....if I told the ole lady to video me roasting a tire, I'd get a 2 day long lecture about how I'm going to break it, or tires are expensive, or some BS like that.
(Of course, after breaking things in)
Still have a few more loose ends to tie up with it before I'm ready to take it down the road.

As my old man told me..... sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission! Hahaha

gotta pound on it to seat those valves!.. proper way is to let it get up to temp and hammer on it.. its not a sissy engine! break it in with a good burnout vid!!
I was going to say something about the color of the motor cuz everyone knows that it is a chevy color but I assumed it was to match the truck.

Well it decided to rain half the night and part of the morning, so I got another day off. Motor is in, and bolted to the trans. Drivers side header is bolted up, but then things got frustrating. Spent the next hour fighting the passengers side before I gave up for the night. Jacked the motor towards the drivers side as far as I could and it still wouldn't slide in. Will have to notch the frame a little. Read a couple reviews that mentioned that having to be done, so it is what it is I guess. It'll sit like this until the weekend.

Don't think so...not without removing the front clip anyways. I'm not sure it would have cleared the frame regardless. Too tight between the starter boss on the trans and the frame.

Ok, now you are just getting a little cray cray.....
I'll get the cut off wheel out tomorrow and make a little clearance and it'll drop right in.
Had to special order a friggen timing pointer from Ford this morning. $33, for a little piece of bent sheet metal. Could have ordered it online, but wouldn't have had it this weekend to fire it up (hopefully). The one I ordered will be in tomorrow morning. All this time I never realized I didn't have the pointer.

What the heck does "cray cray" even mean???
And why on earth would anyone use it???
If it means "crazy", wouldn't just be easier to say that?!?! And in the case of typing, it'd be less letters too!!

Damn...sorry I used a stupid word...I mean chit, it was meant as a fuggin joke. My 6yr old says it sometimes...no clue who he learned it from, don't really care...it gets a laugh out of him, so I don't give a *** how it sounds or who thinks it's stupid or dumb.
Ok, moving on...
I have a priming tool already to prime the pump.
Spark plugs.... I'm going to get a set tomorrow. Should I get a set for a 93 model (what the engine is), or a set for a 77? Older set calls for .044" gap, newer one (for a 93) calls for .054" gap. Not sure which one to go with, or how much it'll even matter.

Well, long tubes are a no go. Notched the frame, got it to slide down in there, but then it hit the crossmember (where back half of the suspension attaches). I'm not cutting on that cross member. I dented the collector some which helped, but for it to bolt up I would have needed to damn near dent it half way flat. Soooooo...out they came and in went the shorties that I have. Not what I wanted but it's not the end of the world.
It's getting close. Intended on firing it this weekend, but I don't think that's happening. I need to do some yard work tomorrow if it's not raining, so I might not even fool with the truck at all.
