Here’s how I primed the engine. Worked great, got just over 20 psi.

I noticed on the old motor that the fan and pulley were blue. Where those parts originally blue? Asking because my fan is black now.

Sorry, I don’t know.

Starting to get her back together.

Think I need to come down another couple inches in the front.

Moved the battery to the driver’s side so I could use all the factory LS cables.

Awesome you got it running. It's a wild setup you got going there. I don't know if the 289 single snorkel would let it breath enough....

Mr RMS, congratulations.
You are making lots of progress.
I enjoy your posts.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it!

All I lack now is getting a driveshaft made, and finishing the wiring for the exterior lighting.

Thanks!

The battery tray is Allstar Performance part 76100. I did have to modify it a bit.

Just about to wrap this project up. Driveshaft is installed.

Fuel door has been cut in the bed floor, and I adapted a hinge from an Explorer.
