This morning, I pulled off the crankshaft pulley and replaced the broken lower timing cover with a better used one. I also pulled the valve cover, cleaned/polished it, replaced the gasket, rear rubber plug and bolt grommets.

Below are pics that show the Montero oil pan and motor mount brackets installed on both sides and you'll see the brass oil cooler connectors installed as well. I pulled the Ford oil pressure switch and will install a Ford oil gauge sender and hope it will work with the Montero gauge. The Montero 2.6 gauge sender is rated for 80psi and the Ford one is rated for 100psi. I'd use the Montero one but it has a smaller threaded connector.

In the front pic, you'll see that the Ford vacuum pump is off the engine. I'm sorting through the vacuum connectors for the brakes and injection pump. I have a brand new vacuum pump but the vacuum connector is facing the wrong way! It's blocked when installed so you can't put the hose on. Argh.

I'm going to be working on plumbing the biodiesel fuel lines at the injection pump and figuring out the wiring for the shutoff solenoid. (I can't find the connector now on the injection pump)

I'm close to having the engine ready except rear main seal that I'll do right before I mount the flywheel and am ready to drop the engine in. I still have lots of wiring to sort through, the fuel pump and alternator solution as well.

Here are some pics:
