Got the freeze plug changed, fired it up doesn't appear to be any leaks.......keep my fingers crossed.

Update: just had a freeze plug on the head start to leak so had too take intake back off remove the freeze plug, went too auto store and got a new one but don't have time too install tonight. Its the little tiny one on the head 7/16 of an inch, a pain to get out.

ARP Head Studs 130-4062. No I used felt/steel head gaskets, they have a better seal and a small ring around each cylinder for turbo applications so the gasket won't blow out. I used Fel-Pro FMC-260-1315. Not sure on the miles, the truck has 74,000 on it but the motor had fresh paint and a...

its an old digital, the flash makes the pic blue. lol!

Ok got it got together today. Took a lot of cranking to reprime but once it did fire right up! Mikev to answer your question, no I don't think the head gasket blew, some of the head bolts felt very easy to loosen so I think some of them stretched causing the head to lift of the block. Also got...

First pic is my turbo 400 second and third is the 700r4 then my np208 that I got of a turbo 350 that will bolt right up too the 700r4. My new flex plate and torque converter are on the way, the TC is a 1600 stall lockup. I also have a auto TC lockup switch coming too!

Pics of heads, left one is fully assembled and the right is partly assembled. Pics of tv cable, bracket and rod. My gaskets and arp studs

Got my new gasket set, and the ARP stud kit!!!!!! Starting too reassemble everything now! Since I have the engine tore apart I took out trans to install a 700r4, also got the tv cable, tv bracket, and rod, will be easy too install with the intake off!

Ok good news head is not cracked!!!!!!!!!! My question though is should I reuse the old head bolts, buy new ones (found them for $40) or install studs? What do you guys think? I will most likely buy new bolts only $40, but should I spend $150 and go studs? Would studs be worth it?

I got the engine tore apart today, things not looking so good, might be a cracked head. I will find out tomorrow when I take it too the machine shop. Here are some pics.

Well I have thought about it for a while and I think I installed those two seals upside down..........oh well.

Ok got the pump rebuilt and installed in truck, I am having an issue though maybe someone knows, When I turn wheel too right full lock no problems but when I turn wheel to full lock left it starts spraying fluid out bottom side of box out the steering shaft, did I install steering shaft seals...

Well when it rains it pours, I drove the wifes 1008 to work the next day and on the way home the steering box finally took a dump. started the rebuild today, will get pics up tomorrow. Once that is back on truck and working correctly I will move on to that head gasket. Found steering rebuild...
