Got the old seized engine out last night. Went rather smoothly

Help I’ve decided to try and buy a house

Mocked up a ram manifolds I got from work just because.

Mostly assembled now. Obviously, intake isn’t on because it has to be off for install but the majority of things are on or test fit

Valvetrain assembled and appears to be working without interference.

Got the accessories out together mostly. Waiting on some hardware. But nice to see it does all seem to line up. And I had a great idea to use the upper hose from a WK2 grand cherokee. Fits the engine and the Durango’s radiator

Ugh. Barely about to fall asleep again. Gotta be up in 3 hours. Again.

Hemi is starting to look like an engine. Delay after delay. Had one head gasket mispackaged by the manufacturer. Took awhile to get another. Dropped the intake on for fun.

It’s been a year and, for lack of better words… I need to figure it the fuck out.

Side note. Boss has allowed me to take a week off after next week to just… do whatever I need to. Want to. Whatever.

Brando’s mom sent me this plush she made from his favorite shirt and I’m in tears. It’s so perfect. I don’t think she knows how much meaning it has. He got this shirt from our first con together (BLFC) and wore it until it had holes. The sanctuary closed earlier this year too. And it’s a husky. ❤️

It’s that day where it’s been a year since @brandothehusky.bsky.social passed away. Honestly kinda wish I’d taken the day off. Finding it hard to focus, to be quite honest I’ve already written some things twice and I don’t feel like doing it again. Just wanted to say I sure miss him.

I didn’t get a lot done this weekend but so far, timing cover and oil pan now on.

Crashed hard after getting home from work last night. Annoyingly, have an 8 hour training class to do today that I absolutely will not be focused on but oh well.

Spottyroo⛽️🐆 @spottyroo.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Got it painted last night as well as the timing stuff installed.

All that extra work just to swap this tone ring

Spottyroo⛽️🐆 @spottyroo.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Honestly didn’t want to strip it this far down but had to replace the tone wheel on the crank so it all had to come out.

Swap oil pan vs a stock ram. Was going to go the cheap route and notch the crossmember but I decided it’s not worth it.

Digging into the engine but also testing an odd alternator swap that should work well

Forgive me. I had a dumb idea. Lmao

Oh by the way. Old boss dropped by. Finally got his twin turbo f150 running. Been building it for about three years after the old engine blew up. I know he’s shooting for about 1400hp, engine is built to handle 1800 And I think it’s even more badass because he uses hand controls and races it.

Hate that I’m getting the vibe a coworker is probably going to be moving on somewhere else. He’s really the only person I actually talk to anymore. But since the new owner almost a year ago it’s been kind of a shit show. He knows nothing about cars and seems to have no idea what’s going on (cont)
