i just got a twin cab f-350 truck, it has everything to do some pressure washing buisness. The motor is torn down, and i have to put it back toghther. it has all the parts brand new. basicly just the block in sitting there. so i have to put it all back toghther get it running, and then i can use it for buinsess. LOl im only 16 and have medium experince with engines, so this one will be tough.

no I rebuilt my first 327 at 15 and put it in an 80 sunbird at 16 just read the manual as you go along and you should be fine. use permatex and make shure that the crank journals are not worn along with the cam. Have the block diped and checked for cracks before you start along with having the heads done. If you cant understand somthing in the manual just pm me and Im shure I can figure it out. oh and buy a good torque wrench. not a cheep one from harbor freight. It wil pay off in the end.

What motor does it have? It might be cheaper to just buy another running truck than to rebuild the motor you have.
