well, after i dropped a valve on my built engine, its been down. car last ran like 14th of january. so this is what ive been doing in like the last week or so..
----

oldblock on ground, new block on stand.


yeah, chrome is over played, but i am going for new color sheme.


bottom end, just reinstalled crankscrapper.


got gears? left side is 3.55 gears, right is 3.94. swapped out the needle bearings and some syncro's.


easy way to install the gears. (did i say easy? this sucks when its just one person doing it)


tranny ready to be closed. quaife/3.55 = mmmmm good.
