New truck project

Well making progress on the engine build. Should be done by the end of the week. Waiting on injectors and rockers that's about all I need.

Yes it did. It would be better if I had more $$ lol I am doing what I can afford and that doesn't include billet rods or a 13mm. The pump will hopefully be a late summer deal.

I'd say it'll be a rowdy setup still yet.
 
Little more progress. School is done for the summer so I can focus on this truck in after work hours. Engine is almost done. All parts are gathered. My eaton fittings and line showed up last week.

Installed pump last night with gear. Timing is at 31* to start with. Installed cover and waterman. This evening drilled and pinned the crank with the fluid damper. Tqd to 150 with red locktite. Rockers should be done by 3 head should be dressed and on by 6. Really getting excited about this engine

It's really nice to finally be making progress. Rockers should be done tonight then just waiting on injectors.

Received my cooler today. Looks amazing. I understand why all the pullers use this thing. The core is huge.
Hopefully have the fuel cell, lines and brake lines in this week. Then I can stab engine , Trans and 271.
Debating on switching where the shocks sit on the axle as well the brackets look cheap enough.

This in addition to water should help the engine live a bit longer. I am hoping to be together by the end of July but money is short so we shall see. I won't cut corners that can't be easily added later. I hate to cut any corners but I want to race this year. It's killing me.
