Well, I spent about 3 more hours on it today... Just some Mundane tasks, like sandblasting the exhaust manifold, cleaning up the accessory brackets, more painting, started cleaning the intake, and bolting on some more parts.

I also spent the time to adjust the valves to 0.07 and 0.11:

I replaced the starter contacts as well. This is a fuzzy pic of how worn out the old one was. You can clearly see the groove worn into the edge of the contact, even in this poor pic:

I then bolted on more accessories, as well as the valve cover:

She's coming along slowly. Good things come to those who wait! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Next trip to the shop is scheduled for Sunday, when I should complete the assembly, mate the transmission, and have everything prepped for installation on Monday morning! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

PS: Anyone notice the resemblance to the LCE EFI Pro? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
