Today, installed the cardboard radio grill filler in place, added the windshield trim that Stovebolter "Spanky" donated and continued with the motor rebuild. I painted the windshield trim and cardboard radio grill filler to match the dash color. Additionally, steam holes were drilled in the 848 head and the valves were installed as well. Bad news on the waterpump as it seems NAPA found my waterpump but it has a 5/8" pulley and I need a 3/8" pulley. I ordered a new one today. That sucked!!! Still no waterpump adapter plate has been installed yet as I'm afraid to drill those holes until I can see exactly how it fits together. Soon I hope...
Motor will likely be done on Friday(I hope) and I expect to install it over the weekend or early next week. Thanks for following along and at any point you have an idea or suggestion, please let me know!
