Thanks Chris.
I have been moving slow on it but it is coming together.

Bought some cheap headers and short pipes for the initial break-in but still have a ways to go before I put some fire to it.

Installed the engine today. I guess I should have washed the engine compartment first to get rid of the dust but I was anxious.

This is the first time I assembled the engine on the K-member and lowered the car over it. I will definitely do this again as it went quite smoothly for a one man operation and no damage to the car or motor.
