I was referring to ibd's. I'd be a little worried if he ran it with the 19's. Maybe 42's to start with. LoL. Yep, 4v are 24#s. I had a markViii engine I was considering dropping into my truck but talked myself out of it due to loss of torque. Even bought a nice cora intake to go on it. Ended up selling it all on ebay. Its awesome how parts are kinda like a piggy bank when you get them for the right price. You can always get your $$ back.

I have a friend stationed in Ft. Benning sniper school (good friend to have
)who will be picking it up for me this weekend. Unfortunately, it will be a month before he has leave to bring it to Tally. I'm in no hurry though. Waiting for a decent offer on my bike and need to pay down some bills before buying more parts. Can't wait to see your build. I'll be happy for ya & it will be very helpful for me when I actually do the swap in 2023.We should be doing the swap together just like Dave and fordmotorsports did.
And you should see what came in today ( the pile is getting bigger)

If it makes ya feel any better, I went a year without a vehicle while I pulled my engine & rebuilt it. I had the company chicken truck for work. But that was work only. Had to depend on my super crazy Columbian ex-girlfriend for everything else. There is a reason she is my ex. Let's just say I was ecstatic when I finished my truck.
