That... was... a... long... weekend. *thuds*

Short story: The motor is in.

Long story (photos): Spent all friday night installing the second head, valve covers, intake, plug wires, etc. Saturday was installing the manifolds, accessories, cleaning the engine bay and rebuilding the 350 wiring harness to work with the 454. Sunday, everything came together. Tonight I got it fired up after dealing with minor fuel and timing adjustments.

I've got it running, set the base timing and that is about it. The 3-wire oxygen sensor heats up quickly and the truck goes close loop, thinks it's running lean since as the sensor is RIGHT next to the open manifold. Next step is to find a way to get it to my parents house to get the exhaust welded up.
