Thanks Bart LOL I found the mysterious missing Engine stand today. My nephew with the broke leg had it. Seems I owe you a engine cradle stand don't I Bart. I will be through with it tomorrow. I found them on E Bay for 30 ish bucks with free shipping. Gonna have to order 1 or 2 as I seem to be collecting old 302s.
Now for the meat. I got the smoking 302 out this evening and got the new oil pump drive put in the Newsed one and reinstalled the oil pan. Installed the new Harmonic balancer, Cleaned all gasket surfaces and am ready to start putting it in tomorrow. At some point I am gonna build a fresh motor to go in it and quit all this engine swapping.
Also I am waiting on word on whether I can go pick the 74 I owned in the 80s up Saturday. Fingers crossed as it is the one that started my love affair with the EBs.
