I have been going over and over in my head - all the parts that I needed to make sure I didn't leave anything out. Hopefully I didn't.

I was checking to see if I had the correct mount bolts for my Alternator bracket to head and A/C bracket to head.The kit does have 2 plugs ( 1 for each head ) for the front of the heads but I am not running a crossover tube in the back. I guess I just plug those holes up ? Do I just use a brass plug?

Honestly I'm not sure- They were put on by the previous owner. I will look and see if I can find any numbers or a name on the springs!!!!....

Dropped The pistons, cam bearings,and freeze plugs off at the shop after work today. Hopefully start putting the engine back together this weekend>
Also realized The PCV valve to manifold preformed hose was missing .
Had to order that from Blue Oval industries this am.
The Trick Flow lower manifold at the back - has 2 threaded holes that needed to be plugged. Found Brass plugs at Lowe's after work today.

I got mine at Ace hardware. You have to look through those little drawers, but they are there, and were much much cheaper. Had Allen heads too, which made them easier to turn in.

Crazy how they mark up a simple piece of hardware, and call them a “speacialty” piece. $32 for 2 is a crime!

I sent the block out to the machine shop. He's going to assemble it and I will do the rest. I'm trying to make this install as clean as I can. Block will be painted grey,

It will locally. But My main goal is a driver.. I've got a few compliments from the people who have seen it in person. But it's not a high dollar chromed out build. Just a nice slightly not stock clean daily driver. I will be changing to 5 lug-new wheels and some Maxumum Motorsports pieces later this spring.
