I could speak....BUT, I have an engine swap and 800+ things to do to my truck before it's ready to wheel.

Yet, it's still fun to give Tim shit about it.:D

I think you might be a little too distracted to put those 760s in.........



I got some more work done....

Clearancing the crossmember for the front driveshaft. It only rubbed in reverse or when engine braking.













The belt fits no problem!




I will need to maintain this angle when mounting the hydroboost unit.






A little trig to figure out the angle.








And thats where I stopped for the night.

More to come tomorrow!!!!
