Thats what I'm shooting for and plus it matches the OME shocks I know its ford color...but I'm doing the block in dark blue to match the truck.

 

looks great............keep the pictures coming.

 

It's about time all the parts got your way. Glad to see it coming together

 

Actually I'm still missing a head...last i saw it was in lynchburg. Gotta order my head gaskets so its still got 2 days to get here

 

lookin good!...that is high temp paint on the manifolds right? Or else your gonna have some nasty fumes

 

VHT 1500 degree but it says it can handle up to 2000

 

Wow.. maybe that yellow will help keep you safe while you are driving at night too. Seriously though... it is looking good. If the heads were in lynchburg today then you should have them by tomorrow.

 

I'm hoping....you still gonna make it down this weekend? I'm thinking about doing my intake in yellow too...and do the 3.0 badge on top in blue and maybe the toyota.

 

I'm planning on it. My sisters roof caved in on there house last weekend so my family really wants me to help them out with putting up a new roof up on saturday. I wish I could be in two places at once. I'm planning on coming up there to help you still, but would rather get it started early in the morning cause I may have to leave earlier then I thought to go help out on my sisters roof.

Did you already make an intake elbow? I can bring some extra silicone couplings up and we can knock that out in 5 minutes while we are up there. Let me know and i'll bring the pipe up with me. You can compensate my brother back for it at a later time.

 

Got the last head in today....it has 2 bent exhaust studs and 2 missing but I have my old ones so no biggie.

 

Glad you got it. Check the listing though b/c I don't remember anything about bent anything. Unless it is no big deal. Let me know

 

Its no biggie...I'm just going to use my old studs. Now if the threads are messed up because they are bent then I'll be a little pissed

 

It still would not hurt to contact him and aware him of the problem.

 

Well I am at a halt now because the rest of the stuff that needs to be done I need help on. My help is leaving tonight due to personal issues with his g/f (my g/f's sister). So anyone up to helping PLEASE let me know.

 

Next to the last of goodies to come today...

 

You that if I didn't have plans this weekend I would helping you out. Hopefully Cootees can make it. plus I am not sure if runnerboy97 can even make it to GWNF.

The work is really coming along nicely. If you want me to contact the seller. let me know

 

Yeh Runnerboy is down too. Some bad ju ju running around this place. Cootees said he could make it but he also has an obligation to go up to his sisters and help put a roof on her house...so he's gonna be a busy guy tomorrow. I feel for him. Either way man...I git r done! I just can't wait to see the finished product...hopefully it fires up too with no problems! This is my first toyota semi rebuild...and my last! Next motor will be a V8...but hopefully a few years You guys have fun this weekend and hold prayer for me on Sunday...thats my EFUD (expected fire up date). Maybe some other time I will be able to join ya.

 

Just got my big package

 

I hope the head gaskets weren't in there. Looks like you have what you need to get this put together. Keep going and I am looking forward to hearing it run.

 

PEEKABOO!
