Motor is coming together
Well I worked dam near 12 hours today and got the oil pan on, timing chain cover, all the seals installed, intake, valve covers, accessory bracket, opti-spark, and harmonic ballancer. I'm really close to getting the car on the cradle which is what I will be working on tomorrow. I need to get all my bushings in my control arms and bolt them, the spindles, springs/shocks, and get the k-member ready for the motor. Im hoping i can have the motor in the car by next saturday but we will see. I still have to clean up my rear end and undercoat my car.
I am getting my water pump housing coated hugger orange and Im going to paint the top of the intake (the runners) orange as well. The water pump cover and thermostat housing will be ceramic like the intake and timing chain cover. The oil pan we made held up pretty well and looks almost stock, well better then stock since its coated as well. Let me know what you guys think, it wont be too much longer now.

Idk if he got them from the same place, but a buddy of mine has a pair thats identical to those and he got them off of ebay for about $80 and he said that the guy makes them just to sell on ebay so they are readilly available

that was pretty slick idea with the msd boot on the vacume line. I see that you have a underdrive pully, what is the part number for the belt? It looks sharp.
