Hey Steve...Dan is here and we're just waiting for Taylor to get back from the airport. As long as Taylor is OK with me going, Dan and I will see you soon.

Thanks to EVERYONE who came by! We got a ton done.

I thought my 2F was ready to drop in but when Marshall showed up he pointed out about 3 dozen things wrong! (oops)

We dropped in the 2F, tranny and tcase. Put on a different fuel pump. Replaced all heater hoses in the engine bay. Took out some power steering stuff I didn't needed since I went over to a Sag pump. Installed new fog lights. Ate lunch and drank some beer.

After everyone left I kept working until about 1130 pm and then worked most of the day Sunday.

I did make one BIG oops - I dropped a nut into the intake manifold but LUCKILY I was able to fish it out with a magnet.

After all left and through Sunday I installed the radiator, grill, front valence, front bumper, winch, driveshafts, new 90wt in the tcase and tranny with new crush washers, cleaned up some wiring, installed the carb but I need to finish hooking it up.

What I have left to do:
1) install different rocker studs (need to source)
2) hook up carb
3) hook up starter
4) turn battery around
5) install oil pressure sending unit (need to buy)
6) install choke cable (need to source)

I'm hoping to have this stuff done so I can break in the new cam and motor this weekend!

Glad you got so much done!

I'm assuming the weather cooperated...at least a little.

The weather did not cooperate - but John Lee helped me push the Pig into my garage and I had two heaters running so it was bearable.

1. Did the ones off the old motor not work?
5. Call RHT. My source was around 35. Of course you could get one from autozone or napa
6. They are in my car. Just stop by before Wed and grab them.

The studs off the old motor would not budge...not one bit....nada.

I've emailed RHT about the studs and oil pressure sending unit.

I'll swing by today probably a little after lunch. I'll give you a call first.
