That is a good looking motor, Pete!

 

[Tomget]

Looking great. Thats a new intake to me. Cool

 

[Gearhead299]

Tom, thats the bottom half of an edlebrock performer RPM II

i have to call the header guy this week and see when they are coming, they are one of the last big pieces of the puzzle, we aren't going to install the manifold until the engine is in the truck so we can dump some oil over the lifters and other moving parts right before it gets started for the first time

So realistically you could be firing this thing up in the next month or so? Sounds great, can't wait to see it installed and try to get us a video of it running.

realistically yes, I'm still waiting for my custom made headers to arrive, I could get away with using the stock fuel system temporarily but ultimately I need a bigger pump and lines to go with the rails and injectors I already have, the front axle is gonna have to come out in order to install some new motor mounts, I need to run wires for the starter and alternator, and i need to find the right manual shift transfer case, although i can get away with the explorer awd for now, i think thats about it

I will do my best to get pics as it all gets put together, a video of it running will defintely get posted when the time comes

 

[RedRider]

Thanks for the update Pete. Thing is going to be sweet when you get it done.

 

[Bigredmariner]

Well good luck and do keep us posted, this is hell of a project. Not your everyday motor swap.

 

[Zembonez]

WOW. That's looking really good.
