Great to see some progress being made, it's been. Loong time coming! Just a thought, you could bolt up your K frame to the engine while it's on the stand to see if and where it needs clearancing for your oil pan. If you need it modifying you know where I am....

You shouldn't rush these things, not at your age ;)

































Good to see you're making a bit more progress than I have recently, but that should change in the coming months!
