And as a tally for those that are trying to keep track....I'm right at 17k including the purchase price of the truck. But it will be SOOOOOOOOO worth it.

well I guess that is as good a reason as anything. I figured I would throw carson out there just incase you had forgotten about them. Hopefully you have no problems without it and you don't have to worry about it till the tree has recuperated haha

Get somebody to hose down that money tree!!! You're making awesome progress. We're all rooting for you and watching with bated breath wondering how far these 7.3's can go. Keep it up man!

Wow, I wish I had $5k to put into mine... Just got mine paid off though. No car payments for this guy!

$17k is not too bad for everything you are putting into it though.

Okay, how about some driveshaft loops. We got them cut out and tacked together and ran out of time.

The rust pits look alot worse than they actually are. We just scuffed the scale off. I'll do a final grinding before the blue paint.

It's all coming together nicely!!! still can't wait to tear into that engine

i have found it's almost better to not even look at the receipts after purchases.... just chunk 'em in a dark corner somewhere and don't go near them. It sux to go look at them then look out at the shop to see something that is all torn apart and not doing what you want it to do yet... sux to look at the receipts man... hahahahahahahahahahaha. Like you said though, it's totally worth it man, TOTALLYYYYYY i actually can't believe you've already spent that on it...

AFTER A GOOD CRY IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT..........

Ya, I can't wait for the motor build portion of this build. I haven't torn into a motor this size yet but I've had my fair share with my motorcross bikes and even with those I don't like looking at the receipts haha.

I have been running for about three years with that much fuel and no girdle with no problems yet, (knock on wood)

I dont see the point n putting them in engines that are not being rebuilt becasue if you were going to do one you probably should have have the block line bored after putting it on to make sure it dosent move any of the main caps around.

Well guys, we had a pretty motivated last few days. However, yall are gonna be mad. Especially Richard. We got the motor out of the truck and got everything done and back in the truck. But we only got a few pics Sorry guys.

Starting out, pushing it in the shop, and all buttoned up.
