Most of my parts showed up… still waiting on the second cylinder head to show up. Ordered and shipped at the same time but somehow they got split up.

Got everything in place to pull the engine tomorrow… at least that’s the plan.

Part of ditching the tunnel ram was for ease of roadside repairs… I used the gates power grip radiator hose clamps the first time everything went together. Super clean looking install, work beautifully but man are they a pain to cut off when you need to change a hose.

I’m going back to standard clamps once the truck’s back together… no way I want to deal with those clamps on the side of the road.
