To start off ill fill some in those that dont know the story.

addicted started life as a v6 42re 8.25. In '06 i got a 99 360 with 40k miles on it, the heads were cracked pretty bad. i threw it on a engine stand to lightly build it for what i wanted before it went it.

EQ heads with 2.02 intake/ 1.65 exhaust SS one piece valves, .600 mopar springs etc
210x cam
1.7 HS rockers
m1 2bbl
fastman 52mm TB polished bores
pph headers
sct tuned

after a couple years the motor went in and took out the 42re, a rebuilt 46re went back in but not long afterwards i realized something wasnt right about the motor at which i was thinking i might not had degreed the cam correctly. further checking revealed a compression issue. once the motor was out i took it to a friend who owns a machine shop to check it over. he redid the cam anyways but when he checked the heads they were the issue. the valve seats were still factory size with my oversized valve in them and the springs were setup for factory lift, i did email the company that put them together my cam specs so it was their screw up. also the same time the rebuilt 46re went in i also put in a 9.25 lsd 3.55 rear end.

last year july '13 the motor went back in and it was back on the road. new tires, upper and lower control arms got some new ES bushings with bumpstops, swaybar end links. 3 weeks later the trans went out.

now a Msaine 46re will be going back in, so this weekend ill be pulling it all back out to put the trans in and hope its back on the road next week.

once its back on the road a couple weeks later itll be back on jackstands. plans so far
replace the font drop coils with hotchkis coils
replace "again" passenger outter tie rod end
cut the spare tire holder out and rebrace that section
look into bracing the frame between the cab and bed
rebuild the factory rear end lsd
replace the rear end 3.55 with 4.10 gears
replace leaf spring bushings with ES poly bushings
add a B&M floor shifter

then hopefully itll be back on the road and fine tuned with sct by ryan.

not pretty this time, but i was in a hurry. ill clean it up before the motor and trans goes back in. still sore as crap. also those pph headers had to come off before the motor came out.

alot of my time issue of getting things done is the truck isnt at my house, had it towed to my parents since they were down the road when the trans went out and they told me to leave it.


got the intake manifold done. i used eddy brand gaskets last time and they sealed better then any others that ive used before. went back to fel pro this time as i already had them.

its back up and running again. i checked all the fluids and the trans was full even checking while in neutral, took it around the block and it operated great but when i rechecked afterwards it was a quart low so i gotta wait til tomorrow for more. it was dark when i finished up and i took it around the block easy so no point in a vid.

a/f stayed around high 11s so its running a tad rich, once i get everything settled Ryan will get to play with it.

find out afterwards also that a dry fill for the trans is 9-14qts, i was going off before was told it was 7-9qt

i took it out for a few hrs yesterday and had a blast with it, a couple good runs and hung around some curves. the old trans mustve been going out more then i thought as the power wasnt this strong before and only changed the trans this time.

the rear is sitting on the factory bumpstops now so ill raise it up a 3/4" but hanging around curves this thing rides like its on rails! 25mph curves that i normally go 30-35 around in other vehicles i was able to hit 50-60 in this and it felt as it still wanted more as it was so smooth going around those mountain curves. ive still got to put the hotchkis coils in.

cleared all the codes last nite when i came in but the only one that stuck out was the "battery temp sensor -p1493-" so ill see if it returns.

i had a couple bugs, hard to cold start after 24hrs and bumps of lean under light throttl, so i went and had the fuel sync done and it was at -5, feels better now with that corrected.

i was looking to get started on the rearend with its new gears but itll be postponed for now. the 98 decided to have a fit with its trans, lots of codes mostly pointing at the gov pressure sensor so ill be replacing it in a couple days with a gm sensor ive had sitting here since last year for addicted but not needed anymore. once i get the 98 back going ill start back on addicted, so stay tuned for more progress....
