I was bummed that I forgot to order more 1/0 battery cable ends. Saw this box in the battery cable drawer and thought, what is in that?
Winning. I forgot I had these.

Hopefully, that is enough good clean ground for y'all.
There is also one from the back of the block to the frame.

The ground for the ECU is on the driver side, on the back of the head. Came that way in the new harness.
The wires for the fan are 8 gauge. I had 4 gauge in the shop and did not want to wait. How do you but connect those?
Cut a piece of the old 5/16 return fuel line off. Clean it thoroughly. Crimp and solder it.

Easy button for filling the transmission.
something on this truck had to be easy, right?
Until I over filled it.
Turned the key for the first time at 7pm.
Crank, crank, crank, crank for way too long but it was building oil pressure. So that was a win.
Finally fired for about 5 seconds, then back fired out the exhaust and quit.
Did this 4 more times.
Checked for leaks. Nothing yet.
Called Eileen out to crank it over. Sitting next to the engine is not on her enjoyment list.
I watched the fuel pressure gauge out front. 20 psi for the prime. She cranked and it didn't go up. So I started adjusting.
At 58 PSI, it fires right up and runs. Has a little surge to it. Not sure why.
PS pump had a bad leak now. I cranked down on the fitting at the pump and it quit. I bought a remote reservoir for the PS system. The fluid moves fast enough that it sprays out the vent. I will have to figure something else out there.
Radiator has a leak at the return tube. I think I can fix it.
Transmission spun the rear wheels on the jack stands.

No directions for installing and I had no idea what the silver fitting was for. Now I know. It was supposed to be threaded inside of the reservoir on the inlet side. I have no idea where it is now.

Right on! That first run of a swap is a great feeling. Keep knocking stuff out!
Congratulations on hearing it run !
It runs!
that fitting is a baffle goes inside to slow the returning fluid down
Awesome Wade, happy for you.
Still made good progress!
Made a new baffle for the PS pump. That's done.
tire smoke and hot rod trip pic's = win win .
