Little to no progress was made over the weekend. Picked up the heads and intake last night only to find out that the intake was not correctly ported and had to be returned today. Intake should be done by Friday and ready for pickup so I will try again next weekend to get the top end of the motor back together and ready for fire up.

Finally made some decent progress today. Heads are installed, valves adjusted, valve covers are on, starter is on and wired up, power steering pump is on, and crank pulley is installed. Tomorrow I will try to assemble the intake, get it installed along with the water pump and radiator. If time permits I might start installing the ignition coils, but all and all Im happy with todays progress.

Thank you LocDoc, I should have turned off the florescent trouble light.

Intake is on, water pump, alternator, radiator, and coolant is in the motor. Friday I will finish up the wiring and ignition coils then try to bring it to life.
