UPDATE!!!   Got the engine put back together today with the help of the local builder... 
now the next things on the to-do list:
-  get the roller here to the house
 
-  get the header ceramic coated
 
-  mate the trans to the engine
 
here is a teaser from today... I only ended up taking 5 pics total... if you've seen one engine going together, you've seen them all... 
the other 4 were added to the album...  
click me to see more pic!!!
