First: this is my buddy Rex who helped me out by assembling the low end for me back when this was still going in the truck. Since then, I undid a lot of his work (cam, heads, pully, cam timing, etc.) and he's always there to help out via telephone.

When are you gona have her running?

I still have a lot to do...

I've got the dash out, the carpet and seats out, the driveline, suspension, whew...

Oh yeah, I'm also swapping the PCM to a 2002, which is done except for the new wiring for the manual transmission, and then needs to be buttoned up.

I'll probably be tuning this weekend
