Picking up a SCAB

I feel your pain brother! My truck is still sitting without a motor, halted by not getting the proper hoses (quick connects) in and with other jobs popping up while we were waiting for the parts. I'm starting to get frustrated...
We should get a pool going as to whose F150 will be on the road first!

Turns out the other day was not the day.... He got the motor in started it and ran about 10 minutes before making a terrible lifter tick. Pulled the cam covers and discovered the lifters were the wrong ones and the cams got chewed up a bit. Luckily he won't have to pull the heads. New, correct lifters and cams coming. Nothing in the oil.

Had dinner with him last night. New lifters and cams installed. He wants to pull the timing cover just to make sure everything else is still ok, then he just has to batten down the hatches. He was going to work some today and possibly finish it before heading east for Thanksgiving.

Motor is all back together as of last night. He ran it briefly as the radiator is not installed. Apparently it was hit when they pulled the motor and they just noticed it. New one was ordered and should be in today. Fingers crossed for today. I know he's eager to get it out of his shop and work on something else.
