Complete 04 long block only missing the ficm

Plan is to use parts from the 04 motor and im getting head studs etc and probably going to 175cc/75% injectors in the next month or two. tearing down the 04 motor on friday.

Figure id update. Finally installed my amsoil bypass filter but need a pic of the caps.

The mod list spring 2012:

Powermax turbo
175cc/75% Warren injectors
Dozer diesel regulated return
Oem head gaskets
Machined heads
Arp studs
4" flow pro turbo back
Replace worn seals etc while cab is up
Possibly doing more fuel system work and fuel bowl delete
Php ficm tune
Live tune from Matt at gearhead automotive.

It's getting close to install time. I wanted to get a baseline dyno run in this past Saturday but the dyno gave out as I was about to make a pull.
