Hey wooftfd -- I sent a PM back.
Thanks Cardo -- You are right about the shop...the best thing for me so far is that I'm home when I am working on something. So no missing dinner, driving to-and-fro, feeling like you have to stay a long time because of the drive, etc. Once we have the house sorted-out I think progress will pick-up.
The top end was a real score, especially for a swap meet these days. I needed the intake but the second set of heads will come in handy for the mock-up since my other set is off for port work/rebuilding and not due back for a year or so. It was a nice matched set too - and oddly the dates also line up with my other set of heads. (But not the dates for my car).
At some point I am going to set the drivetrain so I can get weight on the suspension for body panel alignment and to make sure I have everything a need (pulleys, brackets, bolts, etc.) and that everything fits.
It's a long process - but having a really solid car will make it worthwhile.
Thanks again to everyone following along with me on this resto.
