Got a few more parts ordered this past week and will be buying a few more this weekend. I bought more fittings and the -8 feed line i needed to be close to finishing up running fuel lines. Just need injectors which i'm ordering next friday and the fuel system will be done.
Picking up a Pro-Rachet shifter this week and also ordered up my aluminum for my dash and door panels so hopefully i can get that stuff before the weekend so i can make more headway on making the dash which will allow me to wire in the gauges and lights and all that.
Also will be taking the truck to a buddies house with a lift so i can tack weld up the exhaust so i can have it tigged by another buddy.
So all in all i should have the exhaust and interior mostly done withing two-three weeks.
I'm still waiting for my Rad/fans to come in that i sent money for two weeks ago to a member on here so hopefully i dont get screwed on those...
Will post more pics of updates as they come!

Got some stuff done today...
Got mostly everything mocked up on the motor, waterpump, intake, pushrods, rockers, valve covers, coils and all that fun stuff all on there. Had to beat in the firewall a bit to get the FAST rails to fit with the right fitting. Just little stuff today basically....
Here is two pics of some progress...
Still gotta do the braided line for the crossover between the rails but i've never messed with braided AN line so i saved that for another day hahah...

You realize with the regulator the proper way to plumb it you don't use a crossover right?
Here's how its plumbed.
Fuel pump - Y block -Rear of rails - Front of rails go to both inlets on the FPR - Then return is out the bottom of the FPR. This is the best way to plumb it .

I know of many many people who have done it like this and have pushed high horsepower and worked out fine...

Radiator and Fans showed up today which makes me very happy. Also get paid this week so i will be ordering injectors and the mandrel bends i need. After all that is done i'll be able to put the front clip back on and then just need two fuel filters and i'll be able to run the feed line and should be able to fire the truck up.

This past weekend i ordered the mandrel bends and clamps for the exhaust, tranny pan and dipstick, the adapters i need for my gauges sending units and a fuel filter.
So either this weekend or next i will be welding up the exhaust, another weekend i will be finishing all my fuel system besides my injectors which includes installing all the fittings on the lines and all that fun stuff. Then i need to fab up a simple rad/fans mount and then all that is left is hook up the wiring harness, wire and do the interior stuff, driveshaft, and a few other misc things...
pics to come as parts show up...
