Alright the ENGINE IS IN! My next step is to figure out these long tubes which JBrew i really need ya on this one. Did you remove your oil dipstick or did you slide the header between the dipstick? Did you apply them from the bottom of the truck? Im probably going to need your pictures again.

I just unbolted my compressor and let it lay until the 5.4 was in, raised it 3 inches and bolted up. . .

While you still have room run the breather line from the t-case up to the fire wall. I would look into getting an oil filler extension or carry a funnel in the truck. Adding oil to the engine will be difficult.

ya those were some good hook points but wait...the breather line hose for the tcase clips right into the bracket for the fuel lines...Right where it was before...And as far as adding oil i will be OOK. I got a funnel that has a fat buttom spout so it BAAARELY goes into the valve cover but stays in place. Im ahead of the game, feelin a little proud! But i do appriciate every last suggestion!
