I got it all apart, then I started putting it back together. Rear head, oil pan, front/rear main seals are all back on:

With the rear back together, I decided to get the front head on as well. That’s when I noticed it was missing a temp sender hole. Off to my Grandpa’s shop I went. We added a .332" hole and tapped it for 1/8 NPT to accept my old motor’s temp sender:

Now to get another set of head bolts (long story) and get it all back together.

Sadly the weather decided it wasn’t going to cooperate, so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get it in, but it will be ready when that time comes.
