ruderunner I'll need to get an adaptor plate for mounting square bore onto spread bore. I'll also need to figure out the kick down linkage. If you are around this coming weekend I'll run by and get those parts.

poorboy I planned to check the timing gear, I just may yank the water pump housing and timing cover and replace chain if needed. I'm replacing oil pan gasket so might as well do timing cover gasket.

I'm yanking all of the A/C stuff so I'll need to come up with some alternator and power steering brackets and maybe a crank pulley.

Also discovered that the front core plug on one of the heads seems to be filled with epoxy.....
