heres some pics so you can see what ive been up to and know that i actually am working on my truck and im not some random guy wasting peoples time with questions
heres where it died, i barely made it to the top of the exit ramp

before i got my hands on it

now its shiny(er)

velocity stacks

this could be part of the problem, wish i would have checked that before i tore it apart but they told me the block was cracked so i was looking for a crack

oil pan, filter, and some other stuff removed

the water pump is new, but it had to come off too

its coming along nicely

front cover is kinda dirty, but i cleaned it up some

and theres my timing chain, thatl have to go

nice rusted headers, no visible damage has been found anywhere, taking the heads to shop to check for warpage as soon as i find a good one
