Engine arrived in great shape. (Thank you Daniel...) So, now here's my plan. Since the engine was recently rebuilt, turns over freely, etc.. I will be cleaning and painting.. not sure of the color yet.. suggestions welcome.

I think I'm going to keep the stock manifolds. I will take them off the head and replace the manifold gasket.

I'll use the Rochester carb (think it's a B) just cleaning it up and making sure all parts are clean and free. If it needs rebuilding, I can do that after the engine is in.

I'll get a new water pump (Can I just use a pump for a 216? Or do I need a 235 pump with a modified shaft?

I'll use my flywheel, bell housing, starter, generator and generator bracket.

It's looks like this engine has the right bracket for the front engine mount on it already.

I should get a new fuel pump, cap, rotor, points, condenser, wires, plugs, etc...

I think that should do it? Or am I forgetting anything?

Thanks folks.
