    Well here are the pictures I was talking about. I was finally able to get the motor in. I had to rent a lift for the weekend and had to get it in soon - therefore I still have to paint the block. I am going to run the brake lines and fuel lines soon. I have been researching then and searching the forum. I cannot find a diagram or anything on the forum. I need to known what ID line to use - can I use the same for all lines?? and where it comes off the MC and runs to the wheels. Is there a diagram out there somewhere with all this that someone has or can list the setup path.
    Thanks
    more pictures to come.

    Yes, I do remember those days. Keep working and soon you will be able to hear the engine rumble. When I was done my re-build, I said " I wish i would have done this" happens all the time. Good luck:) and when you get a chance have a cold :beer:

    Thanks all. I am planning on painting the block silver - to see leaks, but not planning on having any. I want to paint the tub a green color, somewhat like an army green, but not quite. Still up in the air if I want a flat or glossy finish. What do you all think. I am hopefully going to get the tranny and t-case in this weekend as well as paint the block. Maybe even run the fuel and brake lines if I can get the time. I am definitely going to dry fit the tub just for look see. It is getting to the point where I can be excited more and more.
    just hope she starts....

    Paint it silver to see leaks? I painted mine black so I don't see the leaks! You need to get that thing done so we can hit the Badlands this summer, if it ever warms up again! Looking good so far.

    That sounds good to me but I am not going to be here this summer. I took a job up in DC for the summer. So you can see my mad sprint to the somewhat finish. I leave May 5th and it's not looking good. I will definitely be up for the badlands soon hopefully.
