Engine painted, flywheel, pilot bushing, clutch and bell housing on. I was able to center the bell almost perfect with a dial indicator.
The bell had been damaged at some time in the past as there is a patch riveted over a hole. Maybe he bottomed out on a rock or something like that. So, I worked on a high spot to get it down a few thousandths... Parallel alignment is not perfect, but I think it will be okay.
Next step is to fill the tranny with oil and install. Engine and tranny should be bolted in sometime next week.
After that, install engine, wire harness and starter,. Then finish the radiator support.
