Thinking about having a engine party

Just like it sounds, I'll have access to my buddies shop for about a week without being in his way.He's going to give me a spot to go to town.While I'm doing all the mods to the 6.0 the body shop guys are going to do me a solid and fix a few things that need to be done from the the wreck that brought the truck to me. Just seeing if anyone is interested in seeing what the 6.0 engine is all about first hand.There is a full machine shop on site and all porting and valve work will be done there. Feel free to chime in and let me know

He's in NJ, that's a long drive from CA. It would have to be something like snow crab legs and caviar for that kind of road trip

BYOG-bring your own gloves.

Cab is getting pulled,I'm checking the body mounts and stuff. Chassie is getting a paint job The rear part of the bed has to get fixed as it never did when I put the nose together(cover leaks on the bed because of it). On top of that it's going to make it easier to put the other goodies in that I have planned.

I've got to wait for the Doc to give me clearance first,but I've been doing little stuff here and there cause the wife has me under the gun till then. I should have started the stereo and gauges the other day.....it was nice. I'm know a bunch of guys would help but live a long way,I'm gonna try to video the whole thing and take segments from it.

So as you are ready and able, drop me a line. Glad to help if I can. Just 15 minutes away. Always great to meet another 6.0 owner who appreciates their truck.
