We all have moments like that! Glad you got it, can't wait to see it finished.

Awesome! Make sure you get some videos when she's up and running.

One question, what made you say changing the plugs was a pain in the ***?

Tried to catch a good bit of the coolant as I don't have a vacuum to suck it out with. Spilled a good bit, but oh well it doesn't really matter. Coolant lines were pretty straight forward.

As soon as my buddy arrives the bracket and blower will finally go on! Will finally start looking good!
It can't be any worse than changing out spark plugs on a Lightning... takes every extesion you can find!!! IIRC the service manual allows 4 hours to change them.

Can't wait to see some videos of how this thing pulls!!!
