Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Have the rear diff painted. It would be finished but the axle bearing and seals need to be replaced, and a recent vasectomy is definitely slowing me down

Got the rear installed. And got a quick look at what the truck will look like height wise. Also getting cursed by my cousin for letting my work area turn into a storage.

Made a slight measuring mistake but oh well. Instead if 4 inches aired out the tank will be 3 1/4 inches from the ground
