I'm only going to tell part of the story from today's trip down to CAMO to chuck an engine in the hole.

The guys down there had her pretty close to drop in the hole when we got done with a great breakfast at CC's.

My Buddy Bear wanted to just play instead of work or let anyone else work - he was a total hoot today.

As you can tell the engine did get installed - trans hooked up - driveline installed - all the misc lines the Military installs on these for Fording - vacuum - fuel got all hooked up - batteries were hooked up and POWER ON.

The rest of the story - YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IT OR GET PICTURES AND THE REMAINDER OF THE STORY AFTERWARDS. rofl

My thanks to PB - Troy & Tony for the great comradre today and a fun time.
And YES I do have a big chit arse smile on my face.
