    Head/cam/intake manifold swap

    Got started at TJs today and made some good progress in the disassembly. Big thanks to TJ for helping out with removing the heads, it would have been impossible on my own. There was a comment made about how I was sitting INSIDE the engine bay... with the engine still in it. Gotta love the room in the truck, now if only I was as fast as the cars *sigh*

    Getting started


    Bye bye radiator


    All that's left is the timing cover


    Tomorrow will be the off-engine work on the heads, timing cover swap, cam swap, block prep, and possibly starting the reassembly.

    Yeah, I'm doing a 6.1L manifold swap. I've been asked to do a full write up on it for my truck forum so I'll put it up on here now too.
