Here is the plan for the next couple of steps at least,
1 - install power steering pump and hoses
2 - install brake booster
3 - rebuild and then install brake master cylinder
4 - recover 1 more wire loom
5 - disassemble the engine
6 - take engine to the machine shop
after that it gets fuzzy. I need to make sure the transmission is ok before I put it in and I need to start putting the engine back together...
more thoughts later...
