Running again!!!
Well, I finally got her running again on sunday. Need to throw the front end stuff on, change out the water for coolant and drive away.
$800 for a complete long block, injectors, turbo and all... Sold most of the stuff, injectors turbo and such and I am in it about $400...
Only drove it to the country store and back (about 3 miles or so) but I am VERY impressed with the swamps tuning and the new injector nozzles.
Plan for now, leave her at home, drive the company crummy until they get wind of mine running. I miss driving her, but I would rather leave her at home, drive this one as long as I can. Not to mention the money I was saving to do the front gears... went to the motor build, so I still have 4.30's in the back and 3.73's in the front. LOL
Anyone want to install a set of gears cheap for me...LOL

Its a used 120k 97 motor out of a party bus... Roll over. Pulled the injectors and crap and sold them off, threw my studs back in it, new comp valve springs and thats about it...
A new head gasket because one of the RETARDS (Jimmy-Joe) dropped one of the rocker arm ***** down the one injector hole that was missing a cup... LOL
Thats the crappy part, now I have to let that head seal up good before I go pounding on it.
Put new nozzles on my hybrids and did a little work to the turbo... Should put me right at 500 hp on fuel. I say should, but...
I told the wife I would remove the water/meth injection... but I think I am going to keep it and just run water when towing.
Done with the HP thing, cant afford it these days.
