Thanks. How does it drive? Torquey? Laggy? Top speed?

Keep in mind that this is not a full rebuild nor is it even close. A full rebuild will set you back at least 5-7K. A full rebuild would address the injectors, injection pump, turbo, oil pump, alternator, pullies, starter, etc. These are the expensive parts of the rebuild.
Also make sure you put a new radiator in your truck. If you don't you'll overheat the engine.
I'd say it depends on what you define as an engine. If everything is by extension then I guess i'll let you all know when I finish painting the truck and replacing every nut and bolt. I would say pretty close to a full rebuild but to each his own. I did however put a new oil pump, new injectors, and alternator on the truck.
The turbo is next on the list to be rebuilt. Stay tuned.
Also I've been running that same radiator since the first start and have not had any issues. Maybe i'm lucky, but what is your reasoning?

do you have any parts left over from this build? I'm gathering some parts and have been going to the picknpull but if you have any wouldn't mind getting from you. FYI Ive tried contacting you through craigslist with no reply?

Do you have a video yet would be good to see running.
Hey man, I am incredibly sorry it has taken this long to get back to you. I am on the Formula SAE team at my school and we have been working overtime to catch up with our build so I haven't had very much free time, and when I have it's already 10 pm.
If you are still interested in some of those parts, I do have quite a bit of spare parts.
Also, I will get a video up as soon as possible!

All good just wasn't sure if it was going to spam mail or something I'm not in a rush, Just wanted to know what the deal was.
I need to get my truck running. But am trying to collect all the extras needed. Can you send a photo or two of what you may have as far as parts. Or IM me your number and a good time to come check out your stock.
What school are you attending?

Where did you get all your parts from?
Hi TV97, This is a rather older thread and it might be past it's time. If your needing parts for your truck...RockAuto.com, car-part.com and Ebay are very good location places for parts. You can also check Craigslist for your area and maybe get lucky on that place. Wrecking Yards are another place to find affordable items too.
