Starting the engine removal tomorrow ill snap some pics in the process.

engine removal what in the fuck you got planned now hahah

We blew the headgasket and the engine has been needing a rebuild so this is just more reason to redo it. The oil pressure fluctuates a lot too. So we are tearing it out boring it out .030 over and then putting some roller rockers and bigger valves on it and calling it a day. Maybe maybe we might mill the heads to get some more compression out of it but i don't think we are gonna mess with it to much. But yah i have a chain fall to pull the engine so it should go fast.

psh, come work over my 2.3 while your at it

Little update:
Worked on the truck for two hours today before i had to go to work and got everything disconnected and the engine is almost ready to come out.

Engine still intact



Beginning of tear down.





And where it sits now. Waiting on my buddy to come over to help me lift the hood off that thing is damn heavy!


Will be continuing tomorrow hopefully it will be ready to pull by sunday!

Here are the most recent pics its ready to come out just need to pull off the hood and disconnect it from the motor mounts just waiting on a engine hoist from a friend.

So.... i got the rear axle for the truck. Full floater 9 inch out of a class 8 truck. Beefy as hell!!

hey did you weld the light bar up front?

The bumper? Its bolted to the frame.

Picking up some 16 inch coilovers tomorrow and then putting the money down on daves 4 link kit. Can't wait!

So I picked up the new coilovers and damn they are huge also got the engine out of the truck. Never realized how big the engine actually is.
Anyways here are the pics!
