Nothing missing from the valve cover. Must be some pieces from the donor car.....
Today was definitely a great day. Made quite a bit of progress. Still a lot left, but it's getting there.....
So, I'm a day behind on pics. Session 044 which was Saturday's work. The day she came back home

So, we started out early getting the Hasport mounts and hardware ready to go. I found my rear VX engine mount. Hardware still intact
2 of the 3 bolts that will hold the HASport mount to the crossmember:
Look at this

Great Rachets for from Harbor Freight
That uneven notch you see in the tranny mount....... that's me grinding it out so the mount will clear the tranny stud

Getting things ready as she was about 5 hours out at this point from arriving:
$hit's nasty, but that is about to change:
Pop's putting in some elbow grease.... wait until you see how clean they came out below......

Remove the 10mm nuts:
Remove old pump from tank:
Remove plastic clip:
Disconnect harness:
Remove hose clamp:
Remove pump:
Old vs. New:
Remove rubber ring to reuse:
Installed on the Walbro:
Set ring that holds the unit together (It was a PITA installing for some reason):
Ready to go back in:
Priming some parts as we wait patiently for the arrival.....
Here she is
:boobies:




So purty:
Some more paint pics:
Roll bar installation:
Pop's drilling:
Drilled up:
Pop's idea on how to drill the 3rd hole since the cross bar was in the way:
Pop's cleaning/painting from earlier in the day:
