please correct yourselves... it's state employees, saying state worker implies that people at the state actually do work.

wow, this car has been sitting for awhile and all of a sudden the parts are flying in and progress is being made. Hardest part of any project is to get the ball rolling.

When do you expect to have the engine in? (I know it depends on when you get the harness all figured out, but just throw out a guess)

I'm slowly weeding through the wiring now. I had a guy quote me 200 - 400 to fix it and another guy that wanted almost 700.
I think I might be able to figure it out now, but that means cutting the whole harness apart and tracing wires, which sucks, but its better than paying almost $700.
I want to take the head and oil pan off to have a look and to put new gaskets on, so that will delay it a little bit. I'm not going to start really working on it to the weather warms up to about 40. My torpedo heater in the garage costs too much to run lol.

The next things on the list:

1J Gasket set
ARP Head Studs
ARP Flywheel Bolts
Engine Brackets
Motor Mounts

That's about $700 in parts, so that will take me awhile to gather the funds. In the meantime I will be figuring out the wiring.
I would like to at least get the engine bay re-painted before it goes in. I'm going to start siding the house in the spring, so that's going to tie things up for awhile too. I might have the engine in this year, but it won't be fully up and running till next year, but we will see how the money Gods treat me .

Albany Med = people leaving in droves. I was miserable.
I took a step or two down in title to go with the state (senior pc analyst), but the long-term benifits blow amc out of the water and I am much happier, which i learned is much more important in life .

You are FTL!! Just kidding. It will be fine for my goals and setup. People have had some nice results on that setup.
I am keeping with the same gauge wires as stock.
