Matt, could you get me a photo of where the dipstick goes in the block before you remove it? I've never seen a good photo of it and I know it is trick to replace with the engine in the truck.

Mine rusted off at the manifold. I'm going to change it when I do headers. Just want to get a better idea of the area I'm working in.

I did get to work on the motor more this weekend! Got the motor mounts installed as well as the new tappet cover. I have just about wrapped up wedding planning lol so i should finally have more time and money to put into the truck again. I have an engine hoist and chains on order and should have them by the end of the week.

Alright Gents, i have started to make more progress again. I am finally freeing up time to work on the truck again now that my wedding planning is done lol.
I started to install the Destroked batter box the other night which required me to move the canister thingy and the power steering tank. I apparently need the 6.0l driver side battery tray as that is where the new battery box mounts to in several spots so i only have one mounting point right now. There are no instructions which is kind of a down side but googling a bunch of pictures eventually helped me figure it out. I went ahead and replaced the two main master cylinder brake lines with stainles prebent o0nes as well.
