I love those FE engines, but you are going to have to remove the rocker shafts and all of those push rods to install the intake manifold.

So impressive...man what a great job Dave. Love the commentary too. Can't wait to see the engine between the fenders.
Did you build the engine back stock?

What a week..... two steps forward, seventeen back! But, I'm making progress. Engine is just about done. I found a date coded thermostatic vacuum switch to round out the whole package! Oil pan will be in next week. Carburetor is being done by Eric, and I should have the correct 68 only aircleaner done sometime next week too. Meanwhile, onto the front suspension. Disk brakes up next! Lines are laying in place and there's a host of suspension markings and such get all situated.

But first...I have to go to recurrent training this weekend. Bleh! I can see it now...."So Dave.... what's the maximum landing weight of the 767-300?" "Oh.. um... that would be the maximum weight at which the aircraft can land..... and did you know that if you squint real hard you can increase your vision 10%?" Hmmm... maybe I should go study

Cheers
Dave
