Thanks Mike!

Made a bunch of progress yesterday and more will be done today. One thing that I thought I would note is that half the head bolts are 18mm and the other half are 5/8". All bolts get torqued to 110 ft. lbs. with the exception of the very front drivers side head bolt. That bolt gets sealer as it extends into the water jacket and is torqued to 100 ft. lbs.

I also installed a Flow Kooler water pump that is supposed to flow 30% more coolant at idle and then drop off to standard volume as the revs rise. The thermostat housing is bad corroded so I'll be picking up a new one and it's standard in stock stock stuff from the local parts store.
