LB7: Head Gasket ........ ended up being bad engine thread !
- Thread starter TrentNell
- Start date
Good , little slower than i want but its taking alot more work having to strip down other motors for parts , the short block i am using was out of a wrecked truck , its in excelent shape but several parts were damaged in the crash , ( upper pan , lower pan, oil cooler/filter assembly , ect) Got the heads on, block ready ect, so now we are just putting on accesories , still have a bit to go but its looking good and considering how much time we have spent we have made a ton of progress !
Motor from the black truck

You stole my color, Trent!
Sorry man I didnt know
i almost went different , after seeing it though i like it It's cool. I was just kidding. It looks good. :hug:Sorry man I didnt know
You actually went a little more subdued than what I plan on going. I'm not painting my engine though, just my turbo piping. I told Nathan I want a bright neon lime green type color. I'm hoping mine turns out something like the color of this stamp.
Looks good Trent. I like it. Get some more of that color up where it'll be seen better.

The engine is 100% complete even down to the serpentine belt being installed ,FICM, and all wiring ect . should go into the truck today or tonight if i have the time , should only need 3-4 hours to finish it up then go for a test drive :coolspot: lets hope all the donor parts are good :baby:
