Havn't been able to do much just yet.
Been trying to get some of the little odds and ends for it but people at the auto stores are complete jackasses.
Not to mention the fact it still wont stop raining, and work and keeping my winter beater running comming into play.
Still need the fitting that goes to my oil pressure sending unit...
Dipstick that will fit my pan, uhh, oil filter screw fitting thing.

And most importantly valve covers.
That's sounding like that's about it.

So the engine is currently sitting on a pallet in my garage, and old engine is still on the engine stand.
With almost everything im using unbolted and ready to move.
So looking to finish this very soon, just need those parts and wallah.

Probably just going to reuse the ones from my old engine(after seeing if it's ok with the guy who's buying it). and give them back to him in a week or so when I have the money for some nice FMS ones or plain chrome.

stay away from the chrome one..better to polish the factory ones..chrome holds heats and since it's tin, tend to warp and leak...aluminum all the way..
