Motor is done and back in where it belongs. It measured out with the plastigauge perfectly within factory spec during assembly. Bolted back into the engine bay without a hitch...

Finished the exhaust. All 3.5" and used a Magnaflow round muffler. Pretty much straight through, may add a resonator after the muffler or on of Dynatech's tips with the silencer in it depending on decibel levels when the engine fires...
One seriously tight fit in places...

Tore out all the wiring that was done before. It was all just crimps and maybe a little quick and questionable. Now it is all soldered conections and very dependable. Built a new fuse/relay center also. Completely waterproof....

Nice clean install, and where you can get to as well, nice. What colour did you use for the block and valve covers? Looks great!!!

Thanks guys.
Block/valve covers are the same Orange Crush Pearl Endura that the jeep was shot in. Heads are just regular Alum high heat engine paint.

Needed to build a new mount for the alternator. Changing from the huge but low power Caddy unit to more modern 1 wire Chevy high output model. The Chevy mounts totally the oposite way on the bottom....

Then built a new bracket to lower the power steering pump so the reservoir could gravity feed better....

Engine is almost wrapped now...

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been busting on it trying to get it done.
Suddenly it all became worth while....
