    Friend of mine got a set of the IPD steel replacements, so looks like they are actually here.

    image.jpeg image.jpeg Got the build done. Now I just have to put it in. I think that's gonna be the hard part. Don't mind the black valve cover. I'll touch those up later

    That I'm not sure, it looks as though they made them to work with the oil jet for the standard 2 piece so I'm betting the suggested ring set is the one for the standard 2 piece or they have their own.

    image.jpeg image.jpeg Finally getting it set in the truck. Using a tractor is how us rednecks do it. Think truck needs a bath so it can match the engine

    Thanks for sharing your progress tmtbob. I enjoy reading up on threads like this plus it gives other people ideas if they want to do something similar down the road. It looks like a lot of time and hard work but in the end it will put a smile on your face. Keep us posted on how she performs down the road.
