OK OK..... I know I have been super lazy updating this.
Sooo..... the engine is back in the car. I should have it buttoned up and starting it for the first time next weekend.
So here is what ya missed.
ARP head stud kit installed. Picked up the heads that went with the block I got with 77k miles and rebuilt those. Those are back on and shiny. New VR head gaskets installed and all other seals replaced. Engine dropped back in etc etc.
The rest of the parts I needed are ordered and on their way. Nissens radiator, all cooling hoses, couple bolts and rubber grommets lost during the rebuild, NGK spark plug wires, Bosch platinum plugs, transmission filter kit, Royal Purple break in oil, Dex/Merc oil for tranny, and the Britpart Gray 180 t-stat.
Here are some pics from the last few months. I really only finally started hammering this out in the last month. Getting ready for my wedding in three weeks. BUT, I have to get this done before the winter sets in hard.
