This is the list I’m working from anyway I feel like I have forgotten a lot of it and I probably have. Questions or suggestions please feel free to ask some things I am still unsure of, and I’ll include pics as I get them. It will be starting slow though as I am doing a lot of the prep work still. Below are the pics of how my truck, and donar chassis are sitting now and I’ll have a pic or two of my motor on Monday.
