I have had a couple of buddies help me out with this, and I can't thank them enough.
Sneak peak of what my badges will look like, a friend of mine is still looking for fonts for me.

unloading the CTD into my garage.

The CTD is so long and heavy, and I didn't want to take the chance of a mis-hap in my garage so we supported the front of the engine on the stand till I am ready to install it.
I would kill for either of these, now I have both, what to do...lol
Disassembly after the first day.
Rear smoothed.
Hard at work......
I have a few more plugs to weld in on the front and then clean up and paint.

The frame still needs to be buffed and cleared, but here are some rough pics of the rear.
Modded fuel pick-up. A 3/8" fuel pick up will support 550hp, so I left it 3/8" for now.
304SS air intake elbow with silver soldered bracket for MAF sensor
BTS Transmission - painted and ready to be installed
T-Case
Engine
I am debating between 7" lift and 36's or twin turbos, right now twins is winning the battle, but will be a lot more fab and time.
Destroked trans adapter plate.
Flex-plate mounted.
Had to trim the starter to get it to fit.
Had to trim the block a bit too.
Starter mounted.
Engine ready to go.
This is a few pics from Saturday.
