I was actually working on this last night!

Welded in -10AN bungs into the oil pan and installed it  
Installed and tqed crank pulley  
Welded -10AN bungs into valve covers  
Scrubbed the engine bay and welded up a few things. Not going too crazy. Going to rattle can it tonight maybe?

Motor is done being assembled and I installed the clutch/flywheel. Wasn’t having any luck getting the T56 fully mated last night so I called it for the night there. Its probably just not quite aligned in the pilot bearing.

@cougarspeed Removed the heater core and cut all the rust out from where the battery used to be.

We are fighting getting it to line up and go into the pilot bearing. Being a pain.
