Ahh that 460 is good looking lol. My old 360 has a rusted out freeze plug leaking decently bad and another leaking just a bit but thank god those are both the only 2 in the open. I can't wait to see how your swap works out!

Yeah me too. I'm a little bummed my truck is down for the time being though.

 

Atleast it's down do to an engine swap and not blowing up the engine or locking up the rearend... I've done both of those recently on 2 different trucks lol...

Looks like we'll be doing the same thing over the holidays.
Kinda cosmic about the plugs.
Oh well at least you know it's what is naturally supposed to happen.
Good luck with the eye deal.

 

Must have been in the water I think Betty got tired of looking at that new Cummins sitting next to her.

I appreciate it. I should be healed up within a week or two.

 

Loving the way this thing is coming together. Praying the eye stuff is all good. I'm thinking i'll go cummins red with my 69 CC Fx4 fummins.

 

Thank you. Tomorrow afternoon I go under the knife, hopefully I can see 20/20 or better after. I update when I feel up to it. It's pretty minor surgery so I should be good to go shortly.

Yeah I'm really glad I decided to go with the Cummins apex red, versus the thunderbird red. The Cummins paint is excellent. It covers well and dries fast. I won't hesitate to use it again.

 

I know this is kinda weird, but are you getting Lasik surgery done? I have been contemplating it for a couple years now and would be interested in your thoughts/experience with it afterwards if you don't mind sharing. If not then ignore all this, lol. Good luck with whatever it is.

 

Yes and no. Same laser different way to get there. I'm having a procedure called PRK to fix my rotten vision. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

 

PRK is a less invasive then Lasik and both have great healing rates. In my unit alone, I think we have had 5 people who have got a combination of Lasik and PRK and all are seeing amazing. We have 3 people who got it over a year ago and say their vision is the best ever. Can't wait to see more updates to Betty!

 

Hope everything is well with you co425.

 

Thanks for the kind words all. I am doing well. Visions a little blury, but it changes daily. I have a good feeling I'll be better than 20/20 shortly. Right now I'm about 20/30-40. I was worse than 20/200 so a huge improvement so far.

As far as Betty I'll have a big update later today.

 

Great news.

 

Alright folks. I got a big chunk of the puzzle in the mail the other day. A brand new P7100 injection pump.





This will get installed tomorrow. I've done enough work today on shoty eye sight.

I busted my *** today and...





Enough said there.

I need to get some steel so I can brace the frame, and for fabbing a new crossmember. At that point I'll cut out the front crossmember so I can start mounting the engine. I don't know if ill get that done this weekend or not. Either way I have plenty of work to do.

 

Well you're in it now.
Good luck.
