The only suggestion I would make would be to cover the opening in the intake, and the exhaust ports. Trust me, I lost an engine once to a carb nut that fell into the intake when I wasn't looking.

Looks good!

Yep, 83 T-bird pump. Some post on here said it was the cheapest clockwise rotating pump that would work. I had to modify my water pump pulley. The bolt holes weren't the right diameter circle. I just drilled four holes in the right spot and made it into 4 slots. I was going to ask you guys what to do with the extra inlet tube on that pump. I'm not running a heater core so should I get a T and run the two inlets into the thermostat housing together? Or just plug one of the tubes? Oh, and dont' worry about stuff getting in the engine. I just took the bag off to take the picture. I usually have the whole thing in a garbage bag.
