You might see it before then.
Yeah, that could be true too!

It took a bit of persuasion but it's in! Not the easiest to do alone with a couple of trolley jacks but like everything else I had to give it a go.
I went with removing the driveshafts in the end, I hadn't torqued up the hub nuts yet so removal took just a few minutes.

Looking good. The only downside is soon there won't be more updates of your awesome project for us to look forward to!

It works!
After a full day yesterday buttoning up and double checking everything all that was left to do this morning was to add oil and fuel.
Once I knew I had oil pressure I was good to go. It took a while to get going but after it fired it settled to a nice idle as I ran around checking for leaks. Seems there's an oil leak on one of the cam covers that needs addressing but other than that all seems good so far.
I'm ecstatic!
