Because the exhaust is still playing out in my head, I decided to make all the connections possible to get the motor running:
1.Ignition System
2. Engine Oil
3. Fan and shroud installed
4. Tighten pit-man arm bolt
5. Fix a leaking brake line T
6. Install alternator harness
Doesn't sound like a whole lot but the ignition system and shroud took most of the time today. The ignition system's coil wire was too short for were I wanted to place the coil. It was located at the front in the spaghetti mess of wires and connections. I moved it to the back of the engine to get it out of the way. The coil wire was long enough so why not?
The shroud came from the donor truck as well and I quickly noticed with a little modification it would fit pretty well. A run to Home Depot was necessary to get a piece of aluminum angle to make the bracket. It fit perfectly.
Doug and I installed an "engine compartment gauges" to monitor the motors vitals. The gauges on the dash panel are "idiot" gauges.
Now its time to figure out the exhaust... What a mess in my head.
