My Motor Build
- Thread starter DMAXchris
- Start date
Injectors are here. Motor is getting picked up tomorrow and I'll start putting it back together sometime this week. Hopefully have it going again in the next two weeks.
I have no idea. I called them and they had one in stock so I drove up and got it.

Good to hear Chris. Actually timed it well. Will be back together and ready for spring time!
It's starting to go back together. Made a little progress last night. I got the crank in and the block painted. Put the rings on the pistons and bolted the clamshells back on the heads. I should have the shortblock assembled tomorrow. I think I might paint the valve covers orange too. Probably get the I/C tube, EGR pipe and intake powdercoated with a hammered white finish.
Here's some truck porn.

Looks great Chris!! Those rods are beautiful!!
Sorry about the piston, that sucks pretty bad
But your build is really nice!!

Havent updated this for a while...
Got the shortblock done a few weeks ago.
We had to wait a few weeks for the cam to arrive, it finally got here last Tuesday.
Heads are on & torqued, still have a lot of little stuff to do. Might be ready to drop in next week. I'll get some more pics today when I go bolt more stuff on.

Thanks Trent. The last few months dragged on forever but I'm starting to get excited now.
Thanks guys. Gotta pay homage to the classics!
Started with this today.
Only worked for a few hours but got most of the fuel system done.
I'm gonna hit it hard on Monday. Hope to see it back in the truck by next weekend!

Seems like injectors/fuel system easier to access when motors out!!
My ribs are still bruised from mine
