Progress on the 406 - almost done...
Just finished installing the pushrods, rocker arms and stud girdles.. Now I'll only need to install the intake and distributor and I'm ready to have the engine broken in on the dyno and dyno tuned.. Hopefully that'll be early next week..
Here are pics of the current status..

Thanks! Let's wait and see if it'll actually run 
Already installed the intake....
Now I only need to install the valve covers... but... I can't find one of the 2nd valve cover.... If I won't find it, I'll have to get new ones...

Here's the current status..
I was initially concerned that the ports might not match up perfectly (even though heads and intake are matched to 1206 gaskets). Luckily, everything matches up perfectly!!
Now I'll only need valve covers and a distributor...
