Looking good guys! That is going to be a nice power plant for the car for sure.

If no more problems! That machine shop sure screwed things up!

 

[horse sence]

Painted it black and bolted it up .

A fuel pump ,thermostat and a carburator kit and soon as I run the valves it will be ready to put on the run stand and fire it up .
Primed it with an air drill and hit 50 pounds so we have oil pressure

I set the motor in the start up stand ,after I bought a new lift plate because someone through my other one out! Now to get all the little stuff hooked up !

I mounted the radiator in the stand ,sand blasted and painted the bell housing,backing plate and the pullies .
I had a new old stock thermostat housing ,its cast iron so it wont warp like the chrome aluminum ones do . Had a brand new set of genuine chrome accessory alternator brackets I bolted on . Got out the brand new 28 oz flywheel ,just need some new bolts and bolt it all up

Thermostat is in ,spring into the block like it is supposed to be.
Fly wheel bolted on and so is the bell housing .
Alternator bolted on and the pullies all line up .
The new starter should be in so I will check on that in a bit.
With the plugs out I can turn the motor by hand from the front pullie so we have no binding anywhere.
A bunch of little loose ends and we can fire it up and piss off the neighbors ...ah ,good times!

If you didnt know ,the manual transmission starter is different than the automatic ,snout is shorter!
