Nick - did you blast up your accessory mounts? I haven't cleaned mine and may get lazy/impatient and not. I'll prob regret it, but I'm starting to want to cut corners on cosmetics.

And, That engines looking sweet!

How long you think until you're ready to drop it back in the truck?

I knew I should've painted my valve covers when I had them out 😡

Yes I did blast them. I took them to someone else though. It would have taken me way to long.

Bill I am hoping I can get the time to drop it in this weekend. I have to go to the parts store for a couple small things and paint the frame then it can go in. I can't wait

Sweet! I bet you can't wait. You've done a great job I think and I'm sure it will pay off. Got my fingers crossed for ya! :-X22

I'm getting ansy. I can't wait for that first crack of it coming to life

I need to know a good oil pressure port for the efuel switch. Where's a good spot

i am having trouble picturing it my head, but i know there's one on the oil filter/cooler mount. i believe there's just one pipe plug and its on the pressure side of the oil filter. i have a picture of it somewhere in my engine rebuild thread. i'll try to dig it up and link it here.

the plug on top of the HPOP reservoir would as well, but i believe its an O-Ring-Boss plug, so you'd need an adapter, assuming your pressure switch is NPT.

and by the by - do you mind sharing the oil pressure switch you'll be using. i need to get working on the electronics of my efuel setup soon!

I think your right on the filter head. There is a brass pipe plug there. I'll get the part numbe for you when I pick up the switch. I think I have a Holley number in my phone that I will get as well

I got the wiring harness from Strictly Diesel and the pressure switch starting leaking after only a month. They told me to get a Carquest ECC 53-33507.

Talk about one thing after another. I painted the pillar pod a while ago and just realized now that it is not obs. I should have checked before but anyways. I'll just order one from the local parts store. Not interested in paying more shipping and duty for stuff I already paid it on. Plus I can just head down there and exchange it if it's wrong. And now my pressure washer won't start. Next please :/

Yep, that 1/8" brass pipe plug on the filter head is the best place to put the oil pressure switch. On my DIY e-fuel I used a Standard PS64 switch.

Well JP. I was having a hard time finding anything for a reasonable price around here. I ended up with a stewart warner switch. I've always known them to be of good quality so I paid the price. The one bill mentions is what I would go with if it wasn't for shipping. I can give you the SW number if you like but it was triple what Amazon sells bills for

So how many people have reinstalled a motor with the five speed still in the truck and cab on and how did you do it.
