1985 kenworth w900b project

Yay snow right? Lol snow storm right before i wanted to put the rest on but threw tarp on. Was gone in a few days. I always laugh ordering bulk bins of bolts somehow never have the bolt you actually need...

Have to swap turbo and exhaust manifolds as well. These are just to far pitted and ugly for my liking. Will be swapping my old 7fb engine manifold and turbo on it....

All i can say putting a starter in when its 5 degrees out isnt much fun

 

Pulled the pan few days later had to replace gasket. Have to get a new pan fixed the crack on this one the best i could for temp use and to hold oil and get me moving round the yard. Had to peak inside the ole engine i always worried its a junkyard engine and all... Took the worries right out of me. Shes clean actually. No wierd wear nothing i seen worries me at all. Yeah only one tube piston sprayers not dual. Boo.... cam looks good pistons good no heat wear underneath and good cross hatching still on the liners... and idk who from cat needs to hear this but f you i hate you and your puzzle piece gaskets. Did order a one piece for the new pan when i order one.

 

Had sisters boyfriend over and few of my moms boys over there to lift the hood and radiator installed it all. Boy they are heavvvvvyyyyy... shes looking like a truck again yay!

Wifey helping torque the oil pan bolts. Kids helped rattle can high temp primer bunch layers, few layers of cat color from krylon rattle cans since local cat was out.

 

I love hauling piggys! Havent done cattle yet really want to haul bison though. Ive hauled heavy haul, flat bed, reefer, dryvan... livestock is the best do far.

This weekend plans

First (Swap starters in the 379 fix the pass turn signal and air compressor gasket)

Remove back two brake cans to install the back two air bags. Install new cans since it sat for 4 years. Then start to air up and bolt up all the air bags to the frame.

Install ground cable from engine to frame, check positive cables for wear through hopefully get engine to turn over.

Can anyone give me a idea what the solinoids are in the battery box?
