got finished up last night . still waiting on remote oil kit. need to install oil pressure gage and temp a couple small adjustments on exhaust . have to re do heater box not enough relief for this valve covers not including the remote oil filter and rad this swap has cost me 18 bucks in paint and varasol every thing else was in house. lots of polishing left the carb is just siting in place till i polish it. but the big stuff is in and done once the parts are in a couple hours and i should be running.most all of my Buddy's think i have finally lost my mind . putting a v8 in a ranger 4wd. no one standing up for the first ride.

Too many shiney bits.

The only chrome you need to get you home is your tools.

You'd hate comming to my place. I have foil hanging from some of my trees to keep the peckers out of them. You'd be too distracted of the shiney things.
