Carb is just on for the photo (note that I did not even bolt it down), since I will use a lift plate to get it to the engine dyno so it has to come off anyhow. The shop does not want water pump on (they have their own system) so I will install that when I get the motor back home after the dyno session.

Still need to hook up temporary oil pressure gauge and spin the pump to make sure I have good oil pressure, then install distributor, spark plugs and wires. Gonna take a break for a bit before then.
