I got rained out today and got off at noon and i had nothing to do so i figured i would go to the shop and work on the truck. After doing some little stuff i decided to go ahead and put the trans in myself. Everyone else didnt get their till around 4. So doing it by myself it went really good, i was shocked. I got the trans in, trans harness hooked up, cross member in, and threw the hood back on. I went to get a u-joint but they didnt have the one i wanted so it will be here tomorrow so as soon as i get it the drive shaft will go in.

I got back out to the shop today and made some more progress. I been sick for the past few days. I picked up a new u-joint and put the driveshaft in, bolted the lower intake on, bolted the pulley bridge on. i was told the alternator wont work from a n/a 5.4 and sure enough it dont. I called ford and it was like $270 then i called O'reilys and they said $190 and it will be here ay 4:30. I am glad the driveline is back together, now its time for all the little stuff that adds up really quick. I should have updated pics tonight.

I got my valve covers and headers yesterday. I put the valve covers on yesterday and i just got home from putting ther damn headers on. I bought the pacesetter headers mainly because they were cheep and they are 1 3/4 primarys and 3" collectors. The passanger side was cake to put on, the drivers side was a bitch. I am going to pick up a balancer, throttle cable bracket, and alt. bracket saturday from a local guy so that should give me a little to work with. I need to check up on my supercharger. I told him I was in no hurry for it and he has been swamped with cobra blowers. So the L blower has been pushed aside for the paying customers blowers. It is coming together fast finally.

Which one, the upper or the lower? After serching all the L sites everyone said the lower is pretty efficent and no big gains have been seen from porting. I have a c&l upper plenum.

I really havent seen anyone running one on an eaton. By the time you bought the sheet metal upper and got the blower ported you could damn near buy a used kb. Hell their is a 2.3kb on nloc for $1600 and it only has 1k miles if i rember right. O yea it is painted red too.

Z7what, did you PM me on here or LR? I already got a set, thanks anyway man.

I picked up another Aeromotive fuel filter today, so now i got both filters, pump, and reg. I am ordering the rails, lines, and fittings on monday. I am going to figure out what i am going to do for the rest of my exhaust then too.
I went to the track friday night and it has me all kinds of pumped up.
