I worked for my engine builder ( K-Star Automotive ) for the past couple months to help pay for my new engine build-up so that took up most of my free time but I did start a few other things and now that the motor is home I can get back to putting time in on the truck ... so here's a few pics of things ....

The new motor ... 355 sbc , 9.6:1 compression , ProComp alum. heads with some work done , KB pistons , Victor Jr. intake , Holley 700 DP , Comp Cams 280H cam , Crane Cams 1.6 roller rockers

Fuel system / Battery move ... Summit fuel cell along with Summit complete fuel system up to the carb (not complete yet), Battery moved to bed (not wired up yet )

Electric fan upgrade ... Dodge Ram electric fan fitted into factory fan shroud

Looks like you got a nice project rolling there. I had one of those fuel cells in the bed of my truck quite a few years ago and after the cap sat in the sun for a few years it was a real p.i.t.a. to get on and off.

Yeah , it'll be gone when I get the truck running and can afford an aluminum RCI set-up
