A lot of progress on the engine assembly!
It is easiest to assembly everything before re-installing the front end sheetmetal. At this point the radiator, water pump, fan, alternator, power steering pump, carburetor, distributor, ignition wiring, and AC compressor have been installed.
Most things have been left loose as more fitting and fiddling with be required. For example, the power steering hose has been left loose as I suspect I will need to reposition it when I reinstall the inner fender wells – the old pictures show it in a slightly different position. The wiring harness is routed along the inner fender well, so it is just laid on the side for the moment.
The next step is to install the exhaust, add the battery and wiring, fill with fluids, and try to start it!
