Got the new lifters, push rods and rockers on
Got the intake and exhaust on and torqued down boy was that fun
Got the valve cover on to and the fuel injectors reconnected and a couple other things too

Finally on to some simple stuff...
Dropping in new distributor, coil, plugs and wires... First I am taking the gear off my old distributor and putting it on the new one I don't like the idea of running a new gear on there because I have never had good luck with new metal riding on old metal causes lots of weird wear on parts.
Taking the throttle body completely off the intake and cleaning it as best as possible
Replacing all the plastic emissions and vacuum tubing with new along with new rubber elbows where they are needed
It is getting very close to start up time, I am getting excited!!!

Well i put it all back together and put antifreeze in it and it starts dipping so well damn I must not have got the freeze plugs set deep enough....
WRONG the mother<¥\*{*}=\ block is cracked!!!! So it is new motor time
I am not happy, but a new motor is better than a junkyard motor!!!

So now you've got a short block with a cam and a head in great shape. You'll be up and running before you know it.
I hope you post a video of it running. I bet the cam will sound great.

Did a lot of work last night more to go tonight when I get home, this damn motor is coming out tonight!!! And I am getting it on the engine stand!!! Before I can call it a night
Here are some pics of last night the only thing that stopped me from getting it out last night was the damn e-12 torqs bit socket for the top two bell housing bolts
