Thanks. Im so glad I did the swap. Its like a whole new truck and everything is easy to get to. So simple to maintain.

I didnt see the other downsized engine swap, Ill have to find it. I did see the right hand drive truck the fella was trying to run on propane.

Im not really sure about the oil drain down, my oil pressure gauge takes a while to come back up to pressure...so It kinda bothers me shooting from 0-1500rpm or so with vitually no oil pressure, at least on the gauge. Than again, this engine is so overbuilt (for example; 7 main bearings) I dont know why Im worrying about it.
