Put the jugs and heads on and torque them, let them set overnight and check the final torque again. Then finish the assembly.

Leave the intake off until you have the heads at the right torque. False torque reading from an intake bind is a bummer for the running motor.

Default check out motor fix
I felt i needed to start another thread for repairing the motor mount so look at motor mount fix.I also had to weld all the spider cracks on the exhaust pipe at the rear head.It all gets covered by heat shields so why not.
