Apparently the machine shop lost a few of my oil pan bolts among other things.
Flywheel and clutch all bolted up.

It's the truck KA block (91-97 Hardbody). I went with the truck block because of the rear sump oil pan to clear the steering linkage and sway bar.Alonso wrote:What block is that? L/Z series?

Yeah man i wish I did what you did, but I was misinformed.
I used a 240 motor because i thought (only) they had a girdle and oil squirters.. I had to flip the sump around, and make a custom pickup etc etc.. all that work for a higher compression motor! i would much rather swap cams and the intake manifold on the truck motor!

Past few weeks I've been fixing **** on the truck... seems that everytime I drive it, there's something else to fix.
3 weeks ago the ebay gasket went out. So I reused the old one (holding good so far)
Last week on my way back from the Fontana Nissan meet the lifters decided to tick all the damn time. So I finally fixed that too.
What else is next?
