That is a pretty truck.
How do you like the 6=8, and how did you run the water to the plenum?
Please post pictures of the engine compartment.

looks like a long way to Coffieville. Springville is 30 miles NE of Birmingham on I59

Here are pictures of the engine bay with the Clifford 6=8 package. I went with the straight forward coolant piping setup and it has worked well so far. I like the clifford package, and had the block worked according to cliffords spec during the rebuild which included resleeving the block. I have less than 100 miles on it so i haven't really hit hard yet. Plenty of bottom end torque. Wanting to get it on the interstate to see how it cruses. I have 3.0 rear end with a warner T-18 transmission
