Engine is here and coming together!
Good afternoon!
Got the engine back from the machine shop a few weeks ago and I've got most of it together now. Ran into a small issue with the stupid balancer spacer. Lost the original piece and had to order one from Summit. They only had two, and one was sized for a specific balancer so I order the other one, which was actually the shorter of the two. Spacer arrives and it is exactly 0.500" too long. Of course, I find that out after pressing it onto the snout and trying to install the balancer.  Not gonna work. Yank it all back off and have the machine shop knock the 1/2" off the nose and now we're good.Still need to get pulleys sorted along with the alternator bracket. Since this truck doesn't have power steering or A/C, this is going to be easy. Single groove pulley FTW!  I'm hoping to have the engine dyno together soon so that I can break the engine in and get a power curve before installing into the F600. We'll see how long that takes.  I've included pics. Enjoy!
