    Thanks dude!!

    Have to clean injectors and order headers. Might run to junkyard for a few vacuum lines and pulleys but other than that she's about done.

    I had thought about doing a 4v swap for yearss, but ended up getting the S/C instead. IMO this has way more cool factor haha.

    The other thing you can do just for future is if you install the motor and I'd suggest this anyways is to kick on the fuel pump shut off and crank it for a few seconds a couple times. Allows the pump to start pressuring up and oil flowing around the motor before starting a brand new motor. Then after that, reset the inertia switch and let her rip tater chip

    Does that eliminate me having to "prime the oil pump". I was a little confused on how to get things flowing with firing it up.

    Thats the switch on the passenger side kick panel right?

    I would still prime the pump. I'd be too afraid of getting air in the lifters. Then I would also do the crank-over procedure like AK mentioned. Here's what jasper says:

    Good eye!!! And yes it is. Was also missing one under the bed and one up front. Replaced the one up front like a month after it was "done" being lifted and just now replaced the other bed spacer. And just now realized im missing a cab spacer lol
