thats the main reason I did the build thread, now its the continuing story of BS lol. I know axle swaps aren't "rocket" science but there where a lot of unanswered questions I had when I did mine, figured it could help trying to put as many details and stuff in as possible lol

Well happy Halloween! lol (orange and black lol)
New engine all assembled! (its actually installed but no pics
)
manifolds installed. I had to clearance the EXH as it was hitting the cyl 6 tube and not allowing the intake to sit flush, I took a 3/8" extension 6" long and layed it down across the tube where it was hitting, I then hit it with a hammer and rolled it down a little and did it again to flatten out the tube just enough for the intake to fit and not hit.
In this pic you can see the straps I made for the new coil mount (the head does not have a mounting boss) I used 1/8" flat steel. 3/4 wide IIRC. I just drilled a hole, bent them and drilled the other where it needed to be.
Close up of the strap

7hrs of work and she is alive! Its amazing, chirp the tires with almost no effort (wasn't trying) to be honest, about 1/4 throttle feels like 1/2 throttle used to, based on the OH SO accurate Butt Dyno 
. Got the cam all broken in and took her for a spin. It came together Very nicely IMO.
as always some pics/video
Looks about the same from the front
pass side motor mount (from below)
and drivers side
smaller p/s pulley, wrapped header ect
intake/TB ect
pass side of motor
Idle with 4x4 performance cam(video)
Giving her a little rev (video)
