Exhaust/intake: installed w/o the alignment guides. After several attempts, I mic'd them out...too long.
While running the new motor trying to fix the intake leak, the starter actuator died. This turned out to be a good thing, across the street from the starter shop was a '40 Ferd stripped to metal in front of a garage. This guy gave me the 'crabs' off a 260 scrap motor.
I fabbed a bracket for the bell crank/spring retainer, and it works good in the shop. I'll update after its on the road. (Good excuse to get the oxy/actylene rig I've wanted! MIG next!)
