More reconstruction progress

The valve covers, water pump and some timing bits went on this evening over a bit of Sam Adams' Cream Stout. I'll update these posts with pics as soon as I find the time.

Until then...

Engine reassembly started

I finally found some free time (and motivation) to begin reassembling the engine. I pulled the engine off the transmission and rotated it forward to get to the oil pan gasket. After replacing that, and reinstalling the engine block, I began to work on the heads and cam housings. Now that those are done, I'm about to put the valve covers back on and work on the top side. I'm not looking forward to the wiring and hoses, but I'll get through it eventually...
