Shortblock is assembled and cam timed. I need to buy some heads next and order an electric choke kit. Will also refresh one of the transmissions, can't decide on the TH400 or TH350.

Got the passenger lowering spindle put on today. Lots of trouble getting 40 year old bolts to come off. Broke two shock mounting bolts and a dust shield bolt, and two of the cotter pins were frozen in place with rust. All better now. Sits about stock height after lowering but there's no engine or transmission in there. Once she's back together that will be perfect height for me. Took probably 5 to 6 hours to do the one side. I'm beat!!!
