Hell yea !
Ran it for a bit today to get it hot before doing the first oil change and found the 440source billet rear main cap is leaking oil... and I siliconed it in pretty good. Guess I’ll do the first oil change with the engine back out

Found the first weak spot !
Not much progress working overtime during this pandemic.
- Wired in the oil pressure gauge
- Drilled one of the water pump block plates for the coolant temp sender
- Working on installing a PCV system and hoping that cures my valve seals seeping

I should start piecing together a brake system in the next couple of weeks.

Quick update:
Work has been SLAMMED since the virus hit, and I've still got a massive backlog of repair orders (being the only diesel tech and vintage tech is a blessing and a curse). I haven't even been able to come home and relax in the garage with the truck! I'm down to five project builds at the moment... and of course everyone wants theirs put ahead of every other customer.
