Hey all, long time no update. The truck has been running and driving well and is a hit everywhere she goes. A big milestone happened yesterday. I officially started the engine rebuild process for the new V10! It needs a thorough cleaning, a new cam, and It has a broken intake manifold bolt and engine mount bolt. Both bolts have some sticking out from the engine so I should be able to weld a nut to them and extract them. The hardest thing so far is finding the stupid cam. I've ben looking all over and no one seems to carry an OE camshaft. I can find a couple of performance cams but then I need to change the ECU, rockers, etc and I don't want to deal with that if I don't have to. Maybe that's why I was practically given the engine. Hopefully I'll have the engine all put together and repainted soon enough and I can test fire it.



Prepping the engine for cleaning


All ready for a solid degreasing. The front main seal apparently leaked a lot because it is nasty
