Just found out that I need to drill my valve covers for a pvc and breather, or buy new ones with holes.
Also have to purchase : new oil pump, pully set with belt, alternator, starter, oil pan (to dent), headers, stall converter. Then the motor will be complete.

Very nice. Looks and sounds like the car I recently picked up. The shifter should fit ok- you may need to cut a little metal out for snug fit...that's how the guy did the one I got. I am running about same power, with a little more weight, these cars move like hell!!! lol- you will enjoy immensely. The interior looked nice. Best of luck with build. Gonna keep an eye open for more picks.

Finally some time off from work...only to work some more. Today I installed new Oil pump, moroso 7qt oil pan, msd distributor, Headman headers, Demon 650 carburator, edlebrock air cleaner, 9psi fuel pump, short high flow water pump, march water pump pully, harmonic balencer, motor mounts, 160 deg. Thermostat, all hardware is ARP.
The crank pully i ordered was for long pump not short (summit is fixing issue) . Also had to return head mount alt bracket for header/water pump mount brackets. Ordered tci 168 tooth flexplate so i can install new starter.
So, next weekend the engine will be complete and ill start running fuel line!
Enjoy the Car ****

I figured the n/a diff MIGHT last a test drive or two, not even expecting a 1/4 mile run. I'm going to put a 8.8 ford explorer diff and keep my IRS set-up with coil-overs.
