Yesterday while the short block was out I installed the lifter and trays, timing chain and cover, plus the oil pan then put it back in and bolted it back up to the transmission. This morning I bolted up the converter and installed the AC compressor back in the bracket then cleaned up the bench to make room for the heads and intake which should be finished this week. Not sure if I will have it running next weekend but it will be close, if not no big deal.

You just need to burn a little more "Midnight oil" to make up for the lost time...
