Don't forget the ground on the back of the block when you put the heads on... LOL

It would have been easier to put it together on the engine stand imho. But so far you have a pretty good platform going on

i figured it would of been way easier to get to the bellhousing bolts with the heads off..and i didnt have to take hood off. it really wasnt too hard putting the heads on in with the engine in. yeah, torquing them would of been easier out, but id rather take that that then sqeezing my hands behind the heads and try threading in bolts.
