pretty darn good if I do say so, thanks for all the help, even chad ;), still need some tweaking but close.

Not a ton different visually but here she is, notice off the blocks, engine in and running

Tons of the progress on the wagon, the mower, well .... a complete loss :( just in time for grass growing season.

there's the transmission, again nothing is easy, starter support bracket in a differe location, soooo, buy a new starter or swap out the cases.

Fan, Little bummed I don't think im going to be able to use an electric fan or a clutch fan, have to get super smart flex fan

Yeah, need to figure out the linkage, nothing is easy, If you look close you can see the transmission snuck in there, Kellas was only 10 minutes late.

STABBED. shes in, radiator mocked up radiator hose fits, manifolds and carbs are just looking pretty, need to figure out linkage and finish air cleaner

Double alternator pully? Here she is REALLY close, like a big wall of orange so I may get out the fine tip brushes, not every night you get to assemble a motor.

Started to bleed the master but got quickly sucked into assembling the motor since it was a lot cooler then doing anything with brake fluid.

what a great productive night assembling the motor, lifters and push rods in throwing on the rockers.
