Headers were installed today, but i quickly learned that you can't Install both of them and turn the engine back over. So the second one goes on while you sit on the floor and try to hold the gaskets in place

And then the exhaust

But I assembled it without the gasket. I thought I had one. I'm going to look a little more before I order a set

The engine is looking closer to ready

Looks fantastic! Can't wait to see it in the car.

Just wondering if it might not be easier to put the headers on after the motor is in the car? You will definitely want them loose at the heads when you go to mount the muffler and bracket to the back of the transmission. I learned that the hard way on my 4.

Keep it up - I have been watching this thread for a loooonnnngggg time!

Broke one of the exhaust studs yesterday while I was torking them up. I should have just replaced all the studs before I started!

Today I got the timing marks scratched in the flywheel and color coded them.

Attached Image

Here's the clutch mounted up

Attached Image

And the transmission mounted up without much fuss. Rebuilt starter needs one more bolt. I'll need to pick one up next week.

Attached Image

Now I need to find the gaskets for the muffler and get that mounted up.

I needed the car high enough so I could slide the engine in, so by combining the new lift with some wood blocks, I got. I just didn't trust the lift, even though it has a built in cross bar to lock it. I stacked up some wood 4x6 blocks and stuck the jack stands on top. Just another level of safety. Not too much work to be done and I'll be dropping it back down to bolt in the engine.

While the 6 x6 blocks rarely fail, I always use something to tie them together like a crank strap or pipe strap with a wood screw into each block.

Working on details before the engine is in the way. I have the 14 pin connector back together and secured the brakelines so they didn't rub on the firewall.

Attached Image

I also ran the fuel lines up to the regulator and fastened them so they were out of the way. I drilled out the original holes for the lines so some larger grommets would fit. I need to find a clean way to block off the intake for the heater ducting that runs in the longs.

Billy, go to mcclendons and pick up a set of rubber pipe caps and ss screw clamps for the tubes. Next time run the center pieces of 6x at 90*. Less apt too tip over. What purpose does the piece of tubing, between the headers and case in post #182, serve?

I did find some rubber caps at McLendons and they worked perfect.
I need to clean off some of the dust!

Attached Image

I got the last of the engine tin mounted up and the throttle cable is done. I need to get the wiring organized and figure out where to mount the regulator.
I posted over at the bird site for suggestions on how to organize the harness. Figured lots of folks over there have done this. Any suggestions?

Mounted the MSD with nutserts or rivnuts (whatever you want to call them), so it could be removed and reinstalled easier. Pain in the ass making the single rubber

mount where the firewall angled back.

Attached Image

While I was mounting nutserts, I redid the fuel pressure regulator replacing the metal screws with bolts

Should have cleaned off the dust before I shot the photo
