hmm, The shop made the alignment problem sound like a disaster! I hate to say it, but my engine is not aligned perfect. It's close, but its visibly off. But, let me tell you, it makes no difference whatsoever. I do not have any vibrations (motor or driveline) becuase of the misalignment. Anyway, In my case the minor misalignment is not a factor.
Good Luck!

Right... I do think he blew it outta perportion... I never got to talk with him, when the truck was in front of him, b/c I was away at school, so it was all phone conversation... I do think I will be fine.. The swap is still in progress, and progressing slowly.. I might slow up some the next 2 weeks cause im broke waiting fer my first check since I've gotten back, so I'm gonna only do minor work with what I've got till I get money... The only thing I'm saying now is running before the end of the summer, and I'd prefer to get some miles on the motor and get it good and broken in... I think it's possible... I'm not as stressed for time like I was last year, and I'm further, know more, and a weee bit more patient now 
The patience will persist, and like my grandfather who taught me alot of hands on stuff said "Never let an inadimant object beat you" So I'm telling myself, and truck, that this time i will win! Whether it likes it er not

RFR2212,
Good Luck don't let the truck win.
Perseverance pays off, you will love it when completed.
Ford should have built the "X"s with a 5.0L. This engine makes the vehicle a completely different animal.

Hey Man, good to hear you are still working on it.
I sold my Navajo and have started the next project.
A guy walk into my garage and offered me more than I could refuse, he trailered the Navajo away, but didn't buy the D44/9" axle combo, now I have an axle set to sell.
Good Luck, keep it going.
