This project is finally, almost completed.

The engine has to be dropped in, and the tire/axle replaced. Add all fluids, and crank her up.... Im so excited.

Last night I installed the oil pickup, and the gasket, torqued down the oil pan, and attempted to source out a new Tensioner, cause Im just being paranoid about my old one. Autozone said they didn't carry it, after their website said they did (in TN!). Oh well, fuck it.

It's going in tonight. Rain or shine. Im going to remove the tire tonight and get the axle ready for replacment (rebuild).

Everything should be running by friday night.

I'm still not sure weather to attach the tranny to the engine, then put the motor in, or do the motor first, then install the tranny. I think the first choice would be easiest.
