New 408 for the Flyfish

The engine is ready to go back in the car (YAY!). The timing cover was a booger to align...and I found 1 hole that I missed when I was chasing all the threads on the block (this one was FULL of rust...totally full...). Anyway, I cleared the last hurdle (I think)...I had forgotten about the big dent in the rail of the oil pan until I went to bolt it down (the dent was from the rod that tried to escape from the last motor)...5 min with a hammer and we're good to go.

Unless something comes up, I'm going to drop it in the car Saturday...and MAYBE start it up Sunday afternoon (if all goes well)...realistically I'm hoping to fire it by the 4th of July...no rush, just don't want to forget anything.
