I thought when i pulled it out of the parts truck that it had a BWT18, but it turns out that it is actually the NP435 so i'm happy.

Hahahahaha mixing paint! You're funny! We take nothing to any such levels of professionalism round here! Nah man it's Rustoleum rattle can Ivory and kind of a turd brown. And thanks! i think it turned out good for a quick and dirty paint job.

alright, one more update as of now. Got my head back from the machine shop and installed on the engine, putting new valve stem seals in it right now, ordered my cam yesterday (Cam Research CR272 for those who want to know), and just picked up a new drag link. I'm hoping that if i put the new drag link in and tighten the box, i can eliminate most of my steering play (there's a lot, mostly from the drag link tho).
