Some progress aside from the motor as the manifolds are back from Jet-Hot a week early and they came out great. Also found a reasonably priced cluster for parts and although it was very dirty, everything from the bezel to the speedo (which looks like new inside) was in much better shape than mine. You can really tell my truck sat in the sun for those 20 plus years while parked as the needles were a faded orange and the replacements are a nice/bright red. I hope to finish the cluster restoration this weekend and maybe start cleaning up the deluxe steering wheel.

The machine shop is taking their time as I am still waiting for the autopsy and cost estimate.
