well I put a fresh coat of primer and black paint on the oil pan and bolted it up tonight, and managed to make a mess of myself with RTV, lol
then proceeded to give the valves a rough adjustment while cold so it's not too bad on first startup
sorry, no pics tonight
tomorrow I plan to finish up the last bits in the engine bay to prepare to drop the motor in this weekend
the clutch kit will be here on Wed, and then the fun shall begin!

yeah I figured if I'm gunna dig THIS far into the motor, I'm going to accesorize with it a little and spend a little extra $$ to make her look pretty too I've been that way with everything I work on, from computers to cars, lol
there's definately cheaper ways to do it though, that's for sure, but I also could have dropped in a long block for cheaper

You should. Waiting on you to start this thing up reminds me of waiting on my first prom date to figure out how to get out of her dress with out tearing it. I know it'll be worth it but the anticipation sucks!!!!

how screwed up would it be if they mixed the order up and we got delivered each other's stuff we would have to meet Wednesday, lol
Played around in the garage a little today.
The main thing I did was scrub a little more under the hood, bolted the fuse box back down, fixed the part of the wiring harness that runs across the top of the core support (apparently in the truck's past life, an overheat boiled water out of the rad cap, an it just melted the plastis loom that was around the wires ), and bolted the PS fluid resivour back down.
Got a few pics of the oil pan job from yesterday; looks a little more like a complete motor now
The only thing I touched on the motor today was sliding the dip stick back in, lol
Starting to go through and try to clean up a little with a few other parts that are going back in, but these I'm not painting; just "knocking the cobb-webs off 'em", so to speak
I did re-wrap the wire going from the ignitor to the dizzy though; the original stuff was looking a little shady
As you can see, I'm use'n my good 'ol MSD Blaster coil; been using that for quite some time now acutally
And just cause I was bored, and I have 2 cans of red paint left over, I decided to use a little
The garage is thick with paint fumes; you can see them in this pic, lol
tha's right!
why not, lol

when i got the truck, the original one was leaking the fluid out of it, and eventually it quite firing. I had this one laying around, so I threw it in, and it's never missed a beat
