I did not realise that 6 cyl and V8 alternators are different, so I will see my sparky mate and see if he can swap out front housing or supply a new correct alt.
I restocked the fridge.
After that important task, I got stuck into making a strong bench to sit the engine and box on to slip under George when he is on the hoist.
My welding skills are improving.
I finished that on Friday night, then started to sort out pulleys, it must have been getting late as I just could not think clearly (pre beer).
Anyway I walked away for a while and figured I would sort out the accelerator cable bracket.
Then came back to the pulley and realised I had forgotten a pulley spacer.
So then it was beer time.
Into it again this morning, got the pulleys on, and fitted mounts etc and K frame, up onto new trolley, fitted the gearbox and cross member.
Then adjusted the heights so the K frame base and rear cross member mounts are in correct relation to George on the hoist, fitted the extractors, and as is typical, tightening the very last stud, it snapped.
So R/H header off (glad it happened on the bench and not when I was trying to fit headers with engine already in), drilled out stud and retapped, refitted header and the time had ome, time to mate these together for the first time.
Snug as a bug in a rug.
Called it a night early today (sore feet) and had a good clean up, got the mounts all in, fuel line fitted, tailshaft fitted, so Dave is a happy boy.
Tomorrow is cleaning suspension parts and refitting them.
