Well I had my 1961 235 on a cheap stand, just cleaning it up and putting new gaskets on it and some fresh paint.

I had it outside the garage for cleaning, was trying to get it back over the garage lip, and it started to go over and i couldnt save it... Manifolds were off, valve cover and oil pan were on as well. Contact points with the ground were the head along where the intake and exhaust gasket goes (no damage) the stand mount on the back and the from engine mount plate.

Im not seeing any major damage, except the exhaust manifold alignment studs both broke off, and the throttle pivot pin.

I should have another throttle pivot pin/dowel off antoher motor- Anything else i should check out?
Do i need to replace those manifold alignment pins or is that not a big deal?
