Default The Beast is finally in the truck

Finally got the motor in!

I got tired and just did it all by myself...got tired of some flakey friends. Worked all through the night started at 7 pm and went till midnight at the latest i dont remember.

I also " rented" a lift at harbor freight

But yeah let me know what you guys think.

I still got to buy some harland sharps, pace setters, and all the sensors and misc stuff and tap the oil dipstick tube.

You cheated. With the radiator, and all that out of the way, it's too easy. I demand you repeat the process at least three more times to make up for your transgression.

Lookin' good!

That was the same paint I wanted to use on my CJ5 motor. For some reason the neon green accent looks bad *** with black vehicles. The only other colour I would go with besides black*.






*see sig.
