The fab work isnt as bad as i may have made it sound, me and one other coudl knock it out handily...
I'm pretty sure im gonna go with the BC exhaust, just cuz i really like the headers, but i might look at modifying the exhaust to protect it better... jsut have to see what it looks like when it shows up...
Its really jsut the kind of stuff that multiple hands could make quick work of... bumpers and stuff like that will definitely be on me later, not during the wrenchfest...
and even if it doesnt get completely finished, i really just want the motor to fire, and have the steering and brakes done, so i can drive it around while i finish the rest...
The biggest "what if" still lurking is the potential issue with the flywheel/harmonic balancer match/mismatch... im not sure if the flywheel is correct, and the balancer that is installed came on the motor, but the motor was hooked up to an auto before i got it. everything is already bolted up, and in the Bronco, so the worst case scenario is i have to pull the engine again... fortunately, i modified the whole front clip to come off, so pulling the engine would be a quick task... If this is the case, the list above will lose all the fab work items and focus purely on getting her running correctly.
I think i need to get the number off the engine, and find out what it came from and what flywheel should be used. i dont even know which flywehel is in it honestly, i didnt realize any of this was a potential issue, until i read Doug's thread about his engine rebuild issues...
Anybody got any insight, so i can reference this when i get home to look?
