Why didn't you address the stripped threads when you had the engine on the stand?

not on the new motor that motor has never been ran, the striped screws are on the old motor coming out of the truck. literally if it wasn't for the passenger side header the motor would have been out and new motor in.

After a lot of fighting and throwing wrenches across the room finally got the motor out, now I’m going to degrease the engine bay to paint it and plop the new motor in. View attachment 549622

I finally found a good grill / headlight surround. At a truck salvage yard in Del City Oklahoma. Friend found it, actually, another Lightning owner. $75.00 and they took it off the truck for me. It's in my garage for now, I need to remove the plain jane F-150 grill and the two rubber pieces on the lower corners. Then take it to a body shop half a mile from me to get painted. It's the fake chrome part, I hope they can paint it. If not, there is a place nearby that does "wraps". That should work just as well as paint.

If only Mother Nature would give me a bit of warm time so I can get it done. Don't like fussing in the garage when it's BRRRR cold.

Still have them Race Star rims. The damn tires I want for the rears, M & H 390/40-17's, keep getting moved further and further away. When I first got them, they were back ordered til January. Then April. Now fuckin June. Damn them. Wish I had never bought these damn rims.
