Been about 16 months and about 6000 miles since I finished it. Overall it has been completely trouble free. Had a couple of hiccup's along the way but nothing major. Being an engine of unknown origin(junk yard buy) it has held up good. However it has gotten down on power some and a compression ck showed compression down with one cyl at 90psi cold. Still runs good and fuel mileage is good(11 loaded/16+ empty) but looking like a freshen up is in the works for this summer. Would recommend this swap for anybody needing more pulling power and not wanting a diesel. :cheers:
