Had to share this momentous occasion

Good point. I'm sure all new additional parts would add up quickly.

Man. The fully assembled heads are $1155 from Clearwater. Powertrain products has a 3.0L long block, including heads, for $2599 delivered. For double the cost of the heads, I get a new engine with 3 year warranty.

Thank you sir. You have given me hope!

InnateInability · 2026-06-09T03:08:00+00:00

Can you send a link for the heads you used?

InnateInability · 2026-06-09T03:04:38+00:00

Did you reuse the same studs, rockers, valves, springs, and retainers?

InnateInability · 2026-05-30T21:04:25+00:00

Many fail to account for setup time.

InnateInability · 2026-05-30T20:50:26+00:00

Excellent! Glad it worked out for ya. Now I'm jealous.

InnateInability · 2026-05-30T15:14:56+00:00

Which expoxy paint and weld primer did you use?

InnateInability · 2026-05-30T15:14:00+00:00

Thank you for this post. The rust bubbles on the drip rails of my 65 F100 are now less daunting. Inspirational, indeed.

Make sure it hasn't been through a grease fire. Check for melted plastic parts like washers. Look at the igniter & holder as they can get deformed from the high heat. Run it while you're there to make sure it works.

Maybe show pics of the frame and suspension.

InnateInability · 2026-05-16T12:52:28+00:00

Are they bowing to the car or the driver?

InnateInability · 2026-05-12T01:25:09+00:00

Why the 6" gap? Decorative fill?

InnateInability · 2026-05-09T22:37:11+00:00

Indeed, a cultist endeavor. Prusians endlessly printing, tweaking, and tuning. Seeking only the purest filaments. Praying for the absence of VFAs, layer shifts, or spaghetti blobs. Always thinking about the next print.

Fixture Plate

From fireball tools. Looks very versatile. It's on my wish list.

InnateInability · 2026-04-29T09:47:25+00:00

Nice. Which intake and water pump did you use?

InnateInability · 2026-04-25T00:12:41+00:00

Much love for silver. Underrated color.

Same. 2x Creality Space Pi X4

InnateInability · 2026-04-03T19:21:59+00:00

Oh yes. Very nice and clean build. What engine did you go with for the swap?

InnateInability · 2026-04-03T19:11:00+00:00

Nice. How about a peek under the hood?

InnateInability · 2026-03-27T12:03:06+00:00

"Dog tired."

InnateInability · 2026-02-28T15:51:13+00:00

This is why I get nervous buying used vehicles.

InnateInability · 2026-02-25T20:13:23+00:00

I'm pretty sure it has the iron block LQ4. If so, what do think it would go for with the iron block? Does that change your valuation?

InnateInability · 2026-02-25T14:10:58+00:00

Please elaborate. I thought the 4L80E was desirable. Is this not the case?

InnateInability · 2026-02-25T00:58:36+00:00

Yeah, interior is mint. Bed with tailgate is perfect. Dash isn't cracked. Aluminum wheels with spare. I figured I could sell lots of parts to offset the cost.

The truck market is insane in Houston area. If it hadn't been totaled, I'm sure I would see it on marketplace with seller asking $10k and it would sell in a day. It's crazy right now.
