Torque Converter installed with no issue. Ended up having to use one shim to be within tolerance.

I installed the O2 sensors that came with my engine and discovered they didn't work with my harness. I found out the Denali O2's are different than the standard truck O2 sensors. So, ran to the parts store and picked up two new ones and installed them.

Finally, poured in some oil and turned the key on the see if I could get the fuel pump to prime the lines to check for leaks. Special thanks to Custom68 for helping me figure out I had a grounding problem. Once that was solved it all came to life with no fuel leaks.

Hopefully we can start her up next week.
