Well, a few steps forward and one step back this weekend.
We got everything to make the motor run wired to inside the cab, got the alternator charging and fan wired. Also got the magnaflow exhaust on and it sounds great! The motor runs nice and smooth and starts up extremely easy, can't wait to see how it feels in the dirt.
From running it too much with no lines on the power steering pump it siezed up, which I somewhat expected to happen. Also left the ignition hot for too long while it was sitting, which fried possibly both the coil and distributor which I am not too excited about. Next step is to replace all the parts we broke and wire the guages, race radios, and siren so that we can finish up the dash.
