thanks turtle.
I already did the free floating rocker mod (which from what i could tell from priming the oil system, works amazingly. tons of oil to the rocker assembly), but decided not to port for reasons i posted earlier in the thread. Would have loved too tho.
So the engine is in the truck but it took some wrestling to get it together. I originally had the whole header assembly together on the engine before the install, but found that one of the cross members wouldn't allow the flange on the y pipe that bolts up to my brand new cats to pass by it. We removed the y pipe and got the engine in but I had to remove one side of the headers to get the y pipe back on. Then i had to wrestle the cat to get that to line up with the y pipe and found out the gasket i was provided with the cat was way to small...Anyway, by the time i got everything together i had to leave. Dont have pictures of the engine in the truck yet but i will post some of the pictures of the complete assembly when i figure out how to get them off my phone....
