Good news.
I get to keep my truck!
As you all know I found out my truck has a crack/pinholes in the block, and I was ready to throw in the towel and sell the truck, I had it for sale for two days, and I couldn't stand the thought of it not being mine anymore, so I did same calling around and got a new engine for the ole girl, it's a 7.3 n/a school bus engine with 144k miles on it, one of my buddies was trying to sell this engine for 500$ and he dropped the price to 350$ AND he's gonna take out my old engine and drop in this new one for 30$
Not a bad deal in my book.
The best thing about the engine is it has the new glow plug harness and controller!
Anyways enough chatting and show some pics!!
And as a note the turbo is NOT going back on this engine, and NO it's not for sale someone else who has been wanting it has first dibs, and if he doesn't want it then I will sell it.

Too much crap to hook it all back up, maybe once the truck is running I'll look for a banks or ats kit, but right now I just want a running truck.
When I turn that color I blow gaskets to......geez
