Default finished my engine swap

well i finally finished swaping out my engine for a rebuilt long block after blowing the connecting rod from the number 4 cylinder and punching a hole through the cylinder wall bigger than a twooney, i wish i knew how to display photos on here so that i could show you guys the damage.the swap took me a total of three months, this included the tear down a complete rebuild as well as a new clutch kit and new u-joints on the drive shaft, and omg you guys are right about bleeding the clutch being a pain in the a, I had to take the clutch line out of the truck and bench bleed it with master upside down to expell the trapped air in the top end of the master. i got to fire the truck up two nights ago and man was the time and the money worth it, and I did this all in my drive way. I think if this job took any longer my wife was going to kill me.
well just thought i would share the story with everyone, and if I figure out how to display pics I post the pics of the carnage...
