    Well I haven't personally been messing with this truck (been working 8+hr shifts at work) but my brother and dad started assembly of the engine and it is getting farther and farther to being done. So far pistons and crank is in, oil pump is in, camshaft and lifters are in.
    We did get the truck moved so that the engine is ready to be dropped in.

    Was going to work on it today but had to get a 351W I got for free tore down to decide on weather I should put it in my other brothers truck (91 F150).

    Well been a bit since update. I am working nearly 40 hrs a week so I haven't really even touched this truck I have two trucks of my own that I am trying to get right.

    However we did get the engine in the truck.

    Dad and brother also put new door panels on the truck and put a truck box that will either be painted or replaced with a diamond plate one.
    Checklist of what needs done:
    new starter
    new alternator
    accessories put on
    oil pressure sensor installed (dad and brother put a plug in the wrong spot)
    wiring hooked up
    new distributor installed
    balancer installed
    valve cover gaskets installed
    rad installed
    ac parts reinstalled
    Exhaust installed (stock manifolds to no cat with glasspack single out 3 1/2 behind the tire with a slash chrome tip).

    I just haven't had a lot of time to help them work on it so progress is slow.
