Motor swap project started
I havent been able to find the pics of the "2 piece crankshaft" yet. They may have got lost between me constantly swapping computers. But here are some pics of the project at hand.

Motor's, transmission's, pizza, beer, what else could we ask for?
Just so you know you can upload photos with iPhone really say using the Photobucket app for free in the app store.
It's what I do all the time. And that crank story is pretty aweosme.
And does it run?

got to work on this truck all day today. I even got to try and start it. But all i get is a click from the starter. I have checked all the wires and i believe they are all there and correct. I should have just 2 wires on the starter correct? I lost my haynes book and cannot view the fsm from my phone so i am going to print some chapters off tonight and take them with me tomorrow. I still have to tighten down all the acc stuff, install tranny lines, install radiator and shroud, and empty the gas tank to fill with fresh gas, and install driveshaft. But i want to get the motor turning over first and try some starter fluid just to make sure it is going to run before i continue. any suggestions?

Sure (but you knew that)!
Post current pics.
Double check that the battery is good and hot.
Triple check connections at battery, engine ground, and frame.
Open cold beer. Follow natural instinct....
Make sure all realys are in PDC and nothing has been pulled. (is it a realy clicking or the starter?)
Try to bust it off!
Open another beer!
