the motor is almost done. waiting on some .025 shims so i can get the lifter preload right. .050 shims that they supplied was only .025 preload and no shims at all was at .100 preload so my math says .025 should set it in the perfect area. this is using 7.750 pushrods.

got some done on the truck over the weekend. pulled the front clip and bed, leaned the cab back. the motor is loose but the starter wouldnt clear the motor mount and i was running out of daylight so i called it quits. about 15 minuts of work and the motor/trans will be laying on the ground.
