I picked up the block and rotating assembly yesterday. Block is honed .005 over, new cam bearings and block plugs installed and the crankshaft is balanced.

Works for me! "I already own it" satisfies almost all of my criteria.

Got the O2 bungs installed on the headers. Drill hole:
Bolt on bung:
This helped to flatten out the steel against the bung and certainly held it in place nicely for welding. I took the headers to the local exhaust shop and they welded them up for me. I thought about trying it myself but I'm not very practiced with the wire feed and for $30 it was worth it to have a pro do it.

Truck stance with motor and trans in. The front springs are very stiff.

The transmission was rebuilt a couple of years ago and pretty much empty. Somehow I still managed to spring a leak.Seems to be coming from the corner of the pan.

Tran cross member in place. Need to drill holes and bolt it down.

This picture from the front shows that the bottom of the stock oil pan is nearly flush with the frame. Exactly where we want it.

As it turns out, the holes were far enough off I just drilled new ones. I used 2 thick washers in front and 1 in the back.

I have one I bought years ago at Menards.
I did get better bits at a swap meet, but standard bits, (not stones) will work on that frame metal.
Fastenal has bits also, I don't know where you are at in Wisconsin, Tomah area has both.
