There you go, done deal. I wonder why the dont show the plug side?
Looks the the summit one is the way to go. The other problem with those type, no big deal but you have to allways use a back up wrench to keep from loosening the other half when turning the plug out.
In There!!!
The engine went in tonight without any major problems:thumbsup::thumbsup:.The biggest deal was to take the leveler off when the engine was 2"from being in because the leveler hits the cowl and won't allow the engine to go back any further.I supported the trans/transfer case with a floor jack and set the engine on the top of the motor mount clamshells.
It went very well. Much to do now.

MY thoughts exactly, that is a lot of weight to sling like that. Pretty impressive.
The hoist is a piece of crap that I built over 20 years ago. It's been bent and remodeled several times. Each time adding more steel. The main frame and boom is only 2x4x1/4 tube.
This is the 3rd or 4th jack on it. The jack is a 8 ton omega.It has outlasted all the others by far. If I ever build a new one it will be able to lift the front of the truck off the ground and have a longer boom.

Very nice job. Wish i could have done half as good when i did mine...
Creeping along
Got the tranny drain plug problem solved. I welded a 1"x1"x3/8" piece of bar onto the pan after drilling and tapping for 1/4" pipe threads:thumbsup:Then repainted the pan.
I had a bit of a problem with the tranny wiring and fuel lines:mad2::mad2: They were on the wrong side of the fuel line bracket that attaches to the bellhousing bolts Had to pull the wiring up into the engine bay and fish it back down. Fuel lines had to be pulled down and fished back up:rolleyes5: OOPPS!!!!
I didn't have the oil cooler line bracket made before the engine went in, so I fabbed that up and painted it only to find out I had to lift the engine back up to get the bolts in:mad2::rolleyes5: A couple of bumps in the road.
Got the oil cooler mounted and hooked up.:thumbsup:
I bought new inner fenders this week locally. $65 each and they are the certified ones. Over $70 cheaper than Rockauto after the crazy freight price.
A few more parts cleaned and painted also.:thumbsup:

Lots more piddly stuff done. Not a real lot to look at. Starter and alternater are in after being painted twice[masking tape pulled the paint off:mad2::mad2::mad2:] Fan and clutch painted and in. Trans cooler brackets painted and cooler in. air deflector painted and in. Engine oiling system primed again and cooler and lines filled with oil. New plastic tubing over much of the wiring harness'[pia] Most electrical hooked up. Need to make a parts run for radiator hoses and undercoating for the inner fenders. No predictions on a fire up date yet.

Something to actually see this week
Did some actual wrenching this week.Not all clean and paint:rolleyes5:.
New rear shocks in. Much easier to do the passenger side before the exhaust goes on.
Warpspeed crossover in. Went very well except I was short 2 stainless bolts :mad2:.Finished hooking up the glow plugs on the passenger side and installed the stainless heat shields for the center 2.
Diamondeye exhaust in. :thumbsup: It fits great. I painted all the hangers/clamps with cold galvanizing paint in hopes to keep from rusting bad. I used stainless band clamps on the pipe splices:thumbsup:If I ever need to remove the exhaust it will come apart easy because the band clamps don't kink the pipe. Well worth the $4 per clamp.
Radiator and fan shroud in. I used the air hose on the radiator to blow the crap out. Took over 20 minutes. Then gave it the scrubbing bubbles bath from both sides.Let it soak for a bit and rinsed. I thought it looked pretty good with just the air hose. Lots more dirt came out with the scrubbing bubbles. The real bonus was it smelled so good afterwords:thumbsup::thumbsup:New upper and lower hoses.
I bought a new heavy duty belt at napa. The napa/gates heavy duty belts are green.
I did do some painting. I primed and undercoated the wheel side and primed and painted the engine side of the inner fenders. Also painted the top of the core support.

A few more pics and some more progress.
I got the front driveshaft in and the inner fenders in. The inner fenders are missing some of the holes for the 95- battery tray mount:mad2::mad2:. Today's lesson: check that all holes are there BEFORE mounting the inner fenders:rolleyes5:
I added a 2/0 ground cable from the engine to the frame. I like redundency:thumbsup: I'll be adding a engine to firewall 2/0 ground also
