Beer boxes can be used as many things, connecting rod holder, midevil helmet (depending on intoxication level), etc...
Looks like you're off to a good start, im getting ready to do the same thing but to a KA, are you changing rods or pistons? what kind of rings are you planning on using? Goodluck bro...I'd ask matt (Ostrich) about the oil pump gears he posted a few months back, deffinitely a good choice when rebuilding an SR or KA.
