Steve, I plan to attend
Some final checks since you are putting in a different block, bell housing, and tranny:
* Zero'd the bell housing or mounting plate? Did I loan you my dial indicator, can't remember. Do you need it?
* Confirm hyd throw out bearing spacing, .100"-.200" from diaphram fingers. You probably did this in your mock-up, just checking.
* Clutch plate same # splines as tranny input shaft?
* Did you remember to install the pilot bushing?
* Confirm tranny mount holes will align with frame mount when tranny bolted up.
* Tranny output yoke same # splines as tranny?
* Drive shaft length ok?
* Fuel line location ok? Correct bits to take the fuel up to the carb?
* Correct radiator hoses?
* FE alternator mount clear of frame? (I had to use a unique ERA mount).
* Starter bolts up to block ok? Pinion gap to ring gear in spec? Cable terminal does not touch anything?
* Distributor same type as before, same connection to MSD?
Then, after the drop .. that magic moment when you confirm that the header flanges and side pipe flanges align
Misc needed later: Hyd bleed hose and cup, DOT4 Brake Fluid, Synchromesh tranny fluid - 3 qts, motor
oil, filter, new fuel filter, air filter .. yadda, yadda
