   So since I don't have any projects going on my boat right now and the motor in my truck has a crack in the block I have been working on that.  Here are some pics, nothing thrilling but a project no less.

The motor on the left during the side is the old motor.  You can see where the water pump should be there is some corrosion from the previous owner not using the correct anti freeze I believe. You can also see the corrosion in the picture of the original motor still in the truck. The original motor is pretty young, only 88000 miles.  I have also been told that if you do not use a certain additive, which may already be inside the correct anti freeze, that it will eat through the block.  Which is exactly what happened to me.

The previous owner sold it to me with JB weld on the block in a spot I couldn't see during the inspection.

	Thanks! Regular cab, or extended.. Would settle with a crew cab if the rest of the truck was what i'm looking for, and for the right price..
