Finallly got it started tonight...

I am very excited, I finally got it started tonight, I have a lot left to do but at least I can start driving her again.

Please excuse the cardboard radiator support, I am making one out of aluminum and still have to drill the holes hopefully be done tomorrow with that. I just used it for a little support.

Not the best video but anyway... http://youtu.be/vS0TqsrTZ5k

Inspected the cam and then installed all new lifters along with the break in oil.

I am sure I will still have more questions because I am far from done but thanks to everyone who has helped me up to this point.

I really appreciate it.
