Tentative schedule is to drop the motor in next weekend, Aug 18/19. Trans is done. What a hassle getting the OD GEARS to line up EXACTLY with the input shaft, that last 1/4 inch was a killer. Some rocker arm geometry issues will have to be addressed, need a few more parts, etc. Ready to paint the engine and accessories. Whew, clean more parts and engine bay up next, gonna be a busy week! Pics to follow soon...
OH, hooked up the starter and 'spun' the motor with the head off to prime the
oil pump. Sweet, we had a gusher of
oil in no time at all.
