Well, it’s been a little while since I updated this because not a whole lot has changed. I started re-wiring the truck for the new transmission with trans brake and bump box. I got the trans back from Logan and it is awesome, I can’t wait to try it out.
I have been going back and forth on putting a mid plate in, but I still need to go through the engine and install some Wagler billet rods I got for it. I want to build the 5.9 shortblock up a little before I put bigger injectors in it. It has had some bearing material in the filters and I noticed it has a little excessive end play in the crank, so I’m sure it needs a thrust bearing. Hopefully the crank is still good and I can keep using it. It measured .019”, my book says .017” is Max spec. I have a 6.7 block and crank waiting for me do decide what I want to do... I really want a deckplate engine, my wallet doesn’t though.
