@user-fz2xk5xv9p I removed the oil sending unit and the little extension it's attached to. It came off easy with an adjustable wrench. Removed fuel lines with line wrench. And because I was doin it anyway. I had the ps pump and ac pump out of the way. There is another vid out there I used as a reference. If I can find it, I will link it.

@jesseduke694 heads are D3VE. I was not 100% sure to, but I punched the info I had into the compression calculator from Summit, and it said almost 11 to 1. 10.98 something. I the pistons are dished but less of a dish? There are valve reliefs, and the dish looks different from stock pistons. From what I seen the dish on stock pistons take up about ³/4 of the piston surface. Almost like a goofy mouth open smile look, haha. I'm not sure, though. A lot of info on these motors is convoluted.

@Tibbyturnwrench Well your block has a deck hight of 10.322 unless someone has previously decked it. But even if they have decked it, your pistons do not come all the way to the top. I know, I have a .030 over 460 with forged flat top pistons & I decked my block. My block is 10.300 & my aftermarket pistons are still .013 down. Stock pistons with a stock block can be almost .050 down. Plus your pistons have a dish!!! Now for the heads, if you had the high compression heads your engine would have alil more than 9 to 1. But u don't have high compression heads, you have smog heads! It's a difference of 75cc to 95cc!! So your engine would be lucky to make 8 to 1.

@@Tibbyturnwrench your engine will have about 7.9 to 1 compression if a felpro stock replacement head gasket is used.

@Tibbyturnwrench with D3VE-A2A heads you have to use a domed piston to achieve anything above 10 to 1. And 10 to 1 is hard to get using a flat top piston & those heads. The block has to cut & the heads have to be cut to get 10 to 1 using flat top pistons & D3VE-A2A heads.

@jesseduke694 definitely need to get some heads then. Was looking at an aluminum set, but they can get pricy. The dove heads can run even more, which is nuts! I'll just have to keep and eye out. For now, it's getting some lipstick and put back in after I clean the frame rails and patch the floors. Thank you for the info.

I have a bore scope coming in to take a look inside. Also, I'm going to measure the stroke as well. I don't want to tear into the motor if I don't have to. I plan on getting it back in the truck after fixing the floors and body mounts in the truck. I can budget for mods later.

Update. Will post in next vid as well. Has aftermarket -21cc pistons in it bored 30 over. Did quick maths with factory numbers, and it should be in the ball park or just under 11 to 1 with 466 displacement.

That's more or less the intention. You see the front reservoir there? It's very icky. I'm going to pump fresh fluid though the system and then bleed it out. It's kind of odd though, because there are a lot of new brake parts. Seems they started to do repairs and then parked it. The lines on the other side look almost new.

There are quite a few good Facebook groups out there i have gotten a lot of help from. Keep an eye out, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Some people can be Jenks, but most are cool and helpful

I was at an off-road park for a fund raiser event. Had quite a few people out there. I pulled over for a bit to make sure everything was holding together after the repairs.

this ^ for the life of me, I could not think of what they were called at the time.

The wheel bearing self ejected from the hole there. The wad grass is from the pond I was driving in. It was wrapped around the axle. I got a little too rough with it at a local off-road park.

Most definitely a labor of love. I started hacking at the floors and cab mount today. Hope to get the new floor pans and mounts installed in the next day or so. The front corners of the cab and the very back of the cab is the only rust areas on the truck. Rest of the truck is pretty darn good shape.

There is some hand made pin striping on the truck. On the back of the box it says "Old Blue" I guess the previous owner had a real since of humor haha.
