An update on the engine and transmission as well.

The trans was damn near perfect. Gears, shafts, synchros, etc are all in excellent condition. Not that there was a problem, but I am trying to minimize how many more times I take this apart.

The engine is in really good shape as well. The crank will just get a polish (standard size journals), the rods are all good and will get ARP bolts, the bores are straight so just a hone is necessary, and even the cam, lifters, valves, and guides are perfect. So rings, bearings, balancing, valve job, and dyno session (to properly seat the rings and validate A/F mixtures).

I'm told I motor should be on the dyno in 2-3 weeks
