I'll definitely have to paint the pan if this is the one I use.
Adapter mounts are in the middle position, have to get someone to help me take the hood off this weekend...

Gimme an airline ticket and a couch to crash on and I'll be right over!

Rear line connected up and ran most of the way to the front.


I don't have the booster, master or proportioning valve yet so I'll leave that line extra long for now

I decided that even though the truck is kinda whooped I was not going to keep a 1 gallon gas can on the fender and stick a wire in the positive terminal indefinitely. For ~$40 I got a new drain plug, oil filter, oe-style fuel pump, rad cap, and a t-case output seal and installed them yesterday. I think the p.o. had a surplus of hose clamps and tried to use them up on the truck. I had 6 extras by the time I had replumbed the fuel pump eliminating the electric one, and I left the ones pictured alone since I don't feel like revamping the power steering system. There is far less room in the engine bay of a 79 than there is in a 69, that's for sure.

Cylinder heads going together.

I forgot the cam thrust plate at work and I also forgot I needed to order a different cam gear for the 3 bolt cam...
But, pistons in along with the camshaft

What's that white thing?

What's that white thing?

Little known about oil gallery plug.
Leave it out and there won't be any oil pressure.
Most don't even know there's one in there. Some companies make a billet one but I don't see the point.

I never knew there was one!

Me neither. My grandpa did tell me one time on a couple of the old flathead engine rebuilds he did, he would pack the oil pump with a little bit of grease, which helped get oil pressure up on initial start-up.

I'm going on a limb and based off what I can find the pan I have will work..
So, paint going on this morning

Had to go with Wilwoods “shorty” MC kit to clear the spring/shock towers. Grabbed (2) 25 foot rolls of that copper-nickel brake tubing before I even started, still hurting from shoveling 4 yards of wet topsoil, I’ll take all of the “easy” I can get
