DIY Ford 8.8 into V1 Build thread

Some wiring?
It looks liek the Tookie's meet for this weekend is off, which is fine.
I am free the weekend of June 8th.
June 15th is my birthday weekend, so that works as well.
And I am free the 22nd of June as well.
I am guessing we will be ready by the 15th or 22nd.
Stone,
Can I buy your 8.8 housing from you?

Nik, Deal. Just hold onto it and I may have my brother get it; he lives in Dallas; works for Cummins South Plains.
Stone, I will give you $50 as well.

Got the front half driveshaft installed. Turns out it wouldn't clear my home brew short shifter, the pipe welded to bottom of stock shifter mod. So I hacked off the pipe I welded on a few years back and went back to stock, I may modify it again for slightly shorter throws down the road.
I also have the revshift transmission insert, which raises the transmission slightly.
Also swapped out the round front flange with a 1350 yoke which required a new crush sleeve, pinion nut etc. to do the job right. I also had to make a new yoke tool to hold the yoke stationary while I was torquing down the pinion nut. I was happy to nail the pinion preload at 16in/lb right off the bat.
Should have the rear cradle, diff, axles and driveshaft all in place tomorrow.
Pictures tomorrow
