geeze that bitch looks dirty. Needs a good cleaning and some nice new pistons and what not.

One thing a mechanic friend of mine told be to do with the lifters for the 5.9 I'm currently building is keep them sitting in oil to keep moisture out of them. If its humid where you live you might want to think about doing that.

put the engine on the go cart in the background. be awesome, or atleast drop the v6 on it when its out haha

Got some progress pics for ya!

Paint is Chrysler Industrial Red. (I know it looks like Chevy Orange but it isnt! lol)

Also, if anyone has advice to my wiring questions earlier in this thread id appreciate it. Thanks.

I'd have to agree...them rotating assemblies looked ugly. Did you drop new ones in, or clean the hell out of the old?

I took everything in to my local machine shop to get them refurbished. Should have them back by tomarrow. Those pics up there are just mock ups to see what itd look like. Its gettin new valve springs, oil pump, waterpump, rod/main/cam bearings, brass freeze plugs, thermostat, and felpro gaskets all around.

i would look at pin 31/32 on the black plug. It says ground. Which I assume is a ground for the computer, i think either pin will work. I would just check were the stock ones go. There is one on mine and it's wired in for remote start and runs to a ground wire. one hanging out in the middle of the bay if you have remote start.

im digging the pictures and like that system that you have to keep everything in order...

Cheers.

looking clean, but why the hell would you put that filthy TB back on that immaculate looking engine?
