Wasn't going to work on the car tonight but I got a few quick hours in...old shortblock is SOLD and I either had to mess around with hoist/stand to pack it up or just get the new longblock the heck out of the way...so I cleaned and bolted up the water pump/tstat housing, bolted up the flywheel and the HDG6 with a fresh disc and slid it onto the trans:
Then old motor is back on the stand, pistons and rods are coming out before it ships out, need to find a beefy 7/16" 12-point socket asap and get this thing off to its new owner...he has plans to sleeve it and do a 2.2L
Also, heard from FIC today, they got my 1680's and cleaned them up and are shipping them back to me....they said they were as much as 8% out of balance, that is kinda scary! She'll purr like a kitten now though
