Hey Madsonp, I think he's talking about you. So, I got the power steering pump back on. That lower bolt was fun. Tomorrow will be the valve covers.

Yep, there's a electric hydraulic pump (120V 30A) that drives a cylinder that's connected to four 1/2" cables that, in turn are connected to the legs via a pulley system. It lifts the expy with no effort, and is very stable. It isn't required to be bolted down, and came with a set of casters so it can be easily moved around to where ever it's needed. Right now, when I'm not using it I put my firebird on it then my tractor underneath it to give me more room in the shop.

Ok Madsonp, if you're done showing off, I need some information quickly. The cylinder head temperature sensor is located on the left cylinder head. The right cylinder is symmetric with respect to the left. The port on the right cylinder where the temperature sensor would normally go is open. Is there suppose to be a plug in it. It may have been left out when I had the heads over in the machine shop. I'd really like to know before I put the intake manifold back on. By the way, cute tractor. Is that your wifes?

Um, id change the oil, and just take a few minutes to look over everything, make sure its all in place. Um, you will have to prime the fuel rails a little bit, just turn the key on and off about 5-10 times (dont crank it), and it will get fuel up there. Should be good to go!

Sorry, I've been out of commision the last few day's (bad case of the flu) I agree with 88 and can't think of anything else you'd need to do, just have anitfreeze ready to add, so then let's fire that puppy up (and cross our fingers). Oh, and 88....pop ???? yeah, right.

The engine spun about 3 times and fired right up like new. I added coolant to the upper radiator hose as you suggested. I think I've added 1/2 quart of coolant since then. So day 3 and so sign of leaks or running hot. I think its a done deal. I'd like to thank you and Madsonp (who's mad at me since I made that comment about his tractor) for all the help along the way.
