thanx.
ive just been doin alot of little stuff on it lately. cleaning up the old wiring, installed the master cylinder, cut the old exhaust out, put the driveshaft in, and finally got lines for my intake and turbo feed. also got my sensor adapter fittings for my gauges.

well a few minutes ago a guy tried to steal my 4.8 out of the back of my truck.... talk about bad luck... he didn't think that the short block weighs quite a bit so he didn't get too far...
