They do some thing like that for the diesel power mag. Only they use a bob cat on a trailer.

^^^ They sure do. I was kinda bummed reading last years mag. They had a hopped up '08 F-450 (another one of my dream trucks). He forgot to put it in 4wd... He smoked the tires clean down the track

Got the trans in today, test fit all the IC piping again now that the engine is sitting where it is supposed to be, and got the intake made. I'm gonna get the IC pipes welded up tomorrow and ready for paint, and then work on one of the many other things left to do.

Thanks Kevin. There is a whole lot of little stuff left to do. I guess the only major part left is to build the down pipe. I've also been fixing little things that I find along the way that need to be fixed. It all takes time, and I'm doing good, but I'm not 100% yet when it comes to the lifting and straining, so I kinda take it easy. When I start to hurt a little, I just stop working on it and come in the house and rest for a while. I was trying to get the trans in by myself, but thank goodness Tyler came over this evening and gave me a hand. I was kinda over doing it and was starting to hurt, and was getting ready to give up on it for a while, but he showed up and with his help we got it in.

You better take it easy until you heal up. Your heavy lifting should be done now that the transmission is in, but I know how hard it is lying across the radiator on your stomach.
