So I posted this thing up awhile back when i first go it.. paid $600 for it and drove it home. Ive been working non-stop on it for about the last week and I've gotten some decent progress on it so far. I am about $2800 into it now with all the parts I bought, although it still looks like hell, most of the mechanical is coming to an end and then I can start on cosmetics.
Parts:
I tore the motor down to the block, cleaned everything.... That took nearly 2 days to do by myself. Finally ended up getting heads back on. I'm using the Fel-pro gaskets and ARP studs, over torqued 15lbs.
Also used Fel-pro manifold gasket and everything else. You can see the extra drain holes i punched in it.
Replaced the 6.9 pump with a 7.3 pump. I'm also using "B" code injectors. Got the fuel system reassembled.
