engine is done, get to break it in now.. how does one recommend going 500 miles without doing a WOT?? 
also left the V6 rearend on there (no posi and 2.73s) to force me to be more careful cuz it will snap so easy ( got a 3.73 gear + posi carrier and such already my mechanic said break it in firsT)
btw pics of the engine bay after I do alittle more cleaning up eh??

on the highway... get it knocked out in a day.. i dont know how some people do it, but i would do 1000 miles on regular oil and then at the end of the 1000 mile break in do an oil change to synthetic...and check everything out...
