Update
Everything is ready for reassymbly. I am anxiiously waiting for my ARP head bolts to get here. The cam is in. It was installed by my wife. Love it! As soon as the bolts get in she will run the first round on the heads torquing them down. Tomorrow I am buying a plug to fill the cam position sensor hole in the back of the block. I am staying with the OEM LS2 location. The short block is for the most part done. Just need parts to get here. Oh and cash.LOL
I promise you guys one thing. I WILL NNNNNEEEEEVVVVEEEERRRR do another 4X4 again. This has about drove me from beating off! I enjoy that to much so I will not take on another project like this in my garage on jackstands. As for the wife getting this new beast. She is highly suspicious that something is up. I have given her some round about hints that it will be faster.
The other day we where in AutoZone dropping another bill plus on misc. crap for the project. She then looks at me as we pay and says "This mother ****** better fly for all the money we are spending on it". I replied "Honey if that is what you want I don't think you will be dissappointed". I get the dejected wife look at that point. I have pics of her doing the cam instal. I also have pics of the process.
Unfortunately half of them didn't take because of a full memory card. DOH! Still have some good shots though. Time is my biggest obstical right now. I am going to also have to **** around with the knock sensors. Anyone know where a fella can get the recipee for making my own knock sensor wire harness? I am wore out and to lazy to look right now. I just got home from work.

Thanks man, I really think TEA is the best head porter out there. I wish I had enough $$$ for some TEA prepped Trick Flows.
Damn, that makes me tired just reading it.

Admit it you got tired reading it because the bastard can't spell worth a **** and he wrote too much. Seriously though it should be pretty damn impressive for what it is. I can't wait to see the results.

The worst for me is the break down. I hate that crap. I really hate having to figure out how to take crap apart. Like my TA.........man I can rip that bitch apart in no time. Droping the tranny in the TB is a bitch. WAY worse than our cars.

I imagine. I looked at a TBSS and thought, its a nice *** truck but damn it looks like a Biatch to work on. My wife didn't care for it so we didn't get it, it would of been hers, but it looked like it would of been a pain in the ***.

That what I was looking at when I thought that it was crazy. I looked under the hood and thought, sweet plenty of room, I looked underneath and thought, WTF were they thinking. Its still a nice *** truck though.
