Here's a couple. We had to drill, tap and re-thread one of the holes for the coolant crossover. The engine was in by 3pm. Now Andrew gets to have fun reconnecting everything.

Looks nice and clean, and I really like those black cam covers w/red lettering.

Looks like its coming along just fine, cam covers look great!
Just a few suggestions, but here goes, I hope you have recently replaced all 4 of the fuel lines?
And that coolant bottle ought to put out in the garden as a planter, it wont be long before it cracks.
Pull the dipstick out till you need to check the oil or start the car, unless it has already snapped off where it fits into the tube.
Good luck on your project, I hope it runs great with no worries

Thanks Ken. We'll get you up here on of these days. As for the rest of the car, I'll just be working on it a little at a time.
