He just said I was full of shit.
If you're full of it, you clearly aren't leaking fast enough.

Cat yellow and satin black are a good combo. Are you going all Cat yellow?
Is a C15 a 2wd 5/8 ton?
Not a cat but a cummins N14 oh and a Ford. 
Too much Ford around here tonight.

That's the first Cummins swap that I seen that's worth a shit.
Greg has caught the disease now, too. This whole place is exploding like a smashed Pinto.

I Know, just remember you can't fix stupid.
I'm living proof of that!
This is actually the color scheme I initially planned on. But having the block black will hide my laziness to clean every single little nook and cranny.

I was actually going to paint over all of it chevy orange today. The CAT yellow was originally a joke, But after all the comments, this bitch is staying yellow
Just hope it doesn't run like a DOG. Youll never live it downI was actually going to paint over all of it chevy orange today. The CAT yellow was originally a joke, But after all the comments, this bitch is staying yellow
It's a bone stock TBI 350, I expect nothing less than anemic behavior. But my goal all along has been something 100% dead reliable that I can be lazy and not pop the hood on between oil changes. Right now the 400 burns enough oil that I don't change it. It's all new before it hits 2,000 miles anyways
Despite being on vacation from work for the races engine build time hasnt been as plentiful as I'd hoped. Here's just a few pictures from the last few days of work. Only thing I'm lacking is a freeze plug and getting the 400 yanked out before I can stab the engine back in.
Lacking a bench grinder this was how I cleaned head bolts. No fingers were seriously harmed in the making of this.
I'm running out of time for this project so the intake never got blasted. Oh well
Getting the valves set this afternoon. Used an old ESC distributor for my priming tool. Was able to hit 40PSI before the chuck would slip on the shaft.
View from the front side. This was yesterday.
Hopefully I can get around to pulling the truck apart the next few days but no guarantees. Now that I've got the engine assembled the carb decided to start running like a top. Go figure

I'm going to say this now so you all know. If I EVER paint something JD green and post it on here know that I'm in extreme trouble and you should notify the authorities
