The story

I got this truck from a buddy a couple of years ago and I am trying to finish it under $5k. Right now I am @ about $3500. I removed the body and need to finish plugging in the front axle before I drop its new big block heart. Will blow or will it go? (b/c motor has not been started yet) — offxroad
