Forgot to mention torque to 100 ft-lbs with engine oil on the threads.

Do the head bolts also require thread sealer on Pontiac V8's?

Default wheels and front suspension

Got the A-Arm bushings put in along with lower ball joints and re-assembled the front suspension with new springs...Glad that's done! Need to repair the radiator support but that should not be too big a deal for a welder. Also got my wheels painted and clear coated...

Next to drain the oil out of the new engine. It seems to be pretty healthy according to video I saw and the previous owner, but I am going to pull the pan and replace main and rod bearings while they are accessible...That way I'll know what I've got. *
