Made some progress last night, got the main bearings in and crank. Main studs and girdle. Then put the front cover on and the cam and tappets. Im still waiting on rod bearings, so i wasnt able to put the pistons and rods in yet
 
I actually just used a fine file. The rings were .040" over cummins rings and were actually right where i wanted them out of the box for the most part. Only had to file a couple
 
I should have specified, to cut the o-ring groove, what did you use? Or am I mistaken? There looks to be an o-ring groove cut into block ?
 
Oh my bad i read that to fast. No those arnt o ring grooves, my head is fire ringed and thats just marks left over because i havnt cleaned the deck of the block yet
 
Got the engine back in the truck tonight! Man is it a nice feeling to see it go back in after about 8 months!

Nice! I'm almost to that point lol bout build is very similar time wise.
 
Yeah it was nice to see it back in the truck! I want to put the head on but i still have a lot of head work to do. Ive decided im going to have the intake cut and either but or build a runner style manifold for it, so thats my next step
 
Do you have of the drive hub for the waterman? Also where did you get the pump and hub?
 
I got the drive hub from keating and the pump from waterman. Ill try to get some pics up soon of the hub
 
How did you go about painting the block? I tried to do mine and it turned out like chit and want to redo it.
 
Just cleaned it and used high heat engine paint. I had it hot tanked at the machine shop to so it was pretty clean
 
Im drooling over that built darren pump, wish I had the cash to send mine there.

biuld looks awesome!
