If I give solenoid power with no power to starter, I get a click noise. The starter wires are loose Or the starter is seized. Did you use locking washer on starter wire to battery? Does the starter battery terminal move by hand? Is starter wire touching frame Or manifold? The inner solenoid...

Got off work today and spent 10 minutes taking off the driver side exhaust with the sawzall. It’s painful to see myself tossing it. After all it is 3” stainless with flow master. I got started on removing the Oem motor crossmember and just as I was on the last rivet, wife came out and said it’s...

I swapped out the 6.2 oil filler to the 6.5 oil filler because I am going to a 6.5 CDR set up for the snorkel. For just the rest runs, I installed a 0-60 oil pressure gauge. I am now experimenting with getting a smaller diameter tensioner pulley so it does not hit the larger water pump pulley...

IDK why the shop put the Phantom 2 oil temperature gauge sensor on this ridicules long tower of fittings! The gauge never read over 100 degrees... Now I know why! Lol! I am removing this sensor and will put it on the oil pan somewhere. Temporarily I also removed the mechanical Phantom 2 Oil...

I paid the junk yard the $1750 for the storage fees. I drove it to my work and parked it there until registered owner sends the title after he gets the bill of sale and check in the mail. I pray he does not screw me over. I would hate to have to turn bounty hunter and hunt him down! Lol! Will...

Good news and bad news! The good! Racor fuel filter/housing is sold. I filled up the oil a few days ago and drained it last night. It was extremely dirty from doing all that work to the motor. I filled it up again and started the motor for 1 minute dry of coolant. It runs very good! No...

I installed the fuel hose and return line with just a few inches from the floor so I can use a diesel fuel can to put them in. Here’s wire for Starter Solenoid. Here’s wire for the Injection Pump. I hooked up my Racor fuel filter/housing and wire tied it to the motor. The Racor housing has a...

Last night the 1/8 NPT 0-30 psi coolant pressure gauges arrived in the mail. I replaced the 0-15 gauge and installed the 0-30 gauge on the driver side rear coolant plate. I also installed a 0-30 psi 1/8 NPT coolant pressure gauge on the front top thermostat housing neck replacing the necks OEM...

Picked up some free stainless steel sheet metal at work. I used my tin snips and made my own turbo heat shield. It will protect the 6.5 Alternator that has plastic on the back of it and protect other things as well.

For educational reasons only, I mocked up the CUCV J-Code CDR valve to check fitment. It appears to work well with the Banks kit. The bottom inlet seems a little tight at an angle. Actual CDR location is not determined yet. I also capped off the Pyrometer fitting temporary for the test runs...

Keeping the garage warm for a few more days before I do the 2nd coolant pressure test which gives the Ultra Blue more time to cure. I ordered a 0-30 psi 1/8 NPT coolant pressure gauge for the rear driver side coolant plate to replace that 0-15 psi gauge. I also need more braided fuel hose for...

Next I wire brushed the Ultra black off of the Banks Air Hat. Then I cleaned up the air hat in the sink with soap and water. Here’s pictures of the air hat all cleaned up and dried. Looking at the installation instructions, I installed the correct washers, studs and nuts for the air hat...

I cleaned up the intake manifold with brake cleaner and paper towel. The intake manifold was hitting the cheap LMC truck valve covers. I used my die grinder and took off some metal from the valve cover so the intake manifold fits. I installed the intake manifold. Torqued to 31 foot pounds...

Leaning more to the story, registered owner sold it to a guy 7 years ago whom got involved in a hit in run accident and never registered it.

Agreed! I am not a sue happy person and have never sued anyone. But when Azzholes like that try and screw people over, they deserve a lot coming to them me thinks. But what ya think? Is this running K5 worth the $2700? It’s been a long time since I priced an old K5. Is the 350 tbi and a built...

Next I cleaned the intake holes with brake cleaner and installed the new Felpro gaskets. Some porting food for thought on the next motor build... I blew out the injection lines with compressed air and cleaned the ends of the injection lines with a paper towel and brake cleaner. Using brake...

Off work early today. Helped the Wife clean the house and finished installing the Exhaust Crossover. Then I installed the Water Pump Hose Heat Shield. Crossover appears to be in the way of the water pump hose. It is going to be a pita to install the water pump hose with the heat shield on. I...
