Well some good progress. Head went to shop for cleaning and mill as necessary,.005 just to clean it up. Thats behind.
Wheels are painted and in the tire shop being put together with the tires. Eng is torn down, and I don't think it has been apart in its life. Pistons are std. Will be taking it to the shop tomorrow for degreasing and hone,ck to see if it needs boring. Fingers crossed.
When it's a roller pics will come.
I did splurge and get a after market eng mount.

Eng is getting close to assy. Going to deck the block just a bit to get a good sealing surface.
The tool from snyders ,to knock the guides out works very well.
Have the ft end under the car with the kingpins set up, and wheels on.Yesterday I got a wild hair and put my m/m in as well as the bell housing and trans. Just temporary to see where to position the firewall.
Will be tackling the T ,rear spring on Monday.
Tonight drive my T roadster to the local cruise in.63 and sunny, gas 3.05 gal. 3 days of pretty weather.
