Well, its been a week of various struggles get n that donor engine in. wouldve had it mostly done last night. But my fuel rail was full of rust and I didnt have any carb cleaner, gasoline or any other kind of cleaner. so i brought the fuel rail to the boat and shined her up! lots of gnarly cemicals onboard this vessel!! Got her soak n right now! it was a good call. there was all kinds of rusty chunks came out! after some breaky, back to the shop to knock this project out. should be turn n the ignition this afternoon some time and see if the truck wants to run again or if its going to the scrap pile!!!
Rusty fuel rail halted install last night.
FYI anyone reinstalling the V10, remember, those 2 extra cylinder need room to slide back further into the engine compartment then the V8! When bolting on a picking chain. Make sure you use short bolts. I used the long ones and fought the install for a good day before i figured out it was trash n the firewall heat shroud. Live and learn!

Theres the purge line on the pass fender
Theres the green and white lines. The white line hooks to the device that the cruise control module vaccuum line hooks to. The green one didnt have anything hooked to it? Almost looks like a plug? But the \"MYSTERY LINE" ends up right next to it!?
