Well folks the snow is getting deeper by the minute, only got stuck once today. The good news is the old triple nickle has been pulled out like an absess tooth. The 8.3 awaits its new home! We changed all the gaskets and seals checked the bearings in the lower end, the head came off to change the exhaust springs from the factory 32psi to 65psi ones for the exhaust brake were installing, while we were in there we lapped the valves and replace the seals, and new head gasket. Tomorrow we will do the motor mounts, mount the rad and if there is time possibly mount the power steering reservoir, and maybe the air cleaner.
