WOW, you scared me! I thought someone had stole your motor.
I have seen it happend before, a buddy of mine built a nice 396 about 13 years ago at a local hobby shop. The day before installation the hobby shop was broken into and the motor stolen.
Thank God your motor made it into the truck

I let it know who was boss, and that it was going on to that engine one way or another.
I told it to choose: "easy way" or "hard way".
it chose the "hard way" but it's bolted on all the same.

sorry guys, I was exhausted and I fell asleep myself while the photos were uploading.
for those of you who cheated, shame on you
for those of you who waited up, I'm sorry.
for those of you who did neither, check the other thread or my gallery for the pictures!
