BB swap pic and update
Would've taken a couple more, but my camera is out of juice. Motor is in and all hooked up. Brand new stewart water pump is leaking out the weep hole already. Dual Spals are awsome! Dewitt brackets worked great, and they kick on and off really smooth. Wiring was easy. I patched my old exhaust up to the new headers, but it's still really loud. Idle is choppy, but vacuum is around 13 inches without a real good tune yet, should get better. New MC, lines, and calipers from muskegon with synthetic fluid. First time I've had any pedal in two years. As soon as I can get another WP here from stewart, it's road test time! I'm happy!

When I installed a Stewart water pump it kept blowing out one of the gaskets. After blowing out three gaskets I sent it back to Stewart went with a Edelbrock. It has been two years and no problems. :chevy

Good to see someone making some progress with their motor exchange. After seeing your pic it reminds me of just how much room we have with our small blocks.
