74 power wagon dream truck...

Its one hell of a truck drink a beer smile a bit then get er done! It will work out in the end it always does right.

Like 4.7 said that's one helluva truck with great work put into it. Look at the big picture and how far the truck has come. I wish I had your skills.

Keep at it, we all know that it sucks to have to go back and redo things, but the end result is the reward. You've done an amazing job on that truck, it's just a little setback. You'll be back behind the wheel and grinning in no time.
I sincerely appreciate the encouragement men...
I painstaking put this engine together on an engine stand and thought I had it correct. Just like I've done dozens of others with no problems. And I had the intake manifold leak on the back after the first 50 miles. I took the intake manifold off and fix that. Enough I went for another 600 MI and find myself yesterday putting that intake back on for the third time... And when I say painstakingly I mean with surgical cleanliness.... All of which is to avoid having to do it again, just do it right the first time... I know I'm doing everything right with the right way but still after having to do it the third time it does try and let doubt creep into my head...
I'm making a little bit of progress every day but not that fireball of enthusiasm but I normally have building a new project....
I have some unscheduled work days coming up early this week and one scheduled for Friday as well. I was expecting to have this done in just a few days but it may be next weekend....
Again I appreciate the encouragement it helps tremendously....
