Well, all that talk about how things weren't lining up correctly turned out to be true. The frame was sent to the Frame Man in Sacramento to be straightened. Sure enough, it needed a lot of work. On top of that, he said some things couldn't be fixed. Uhm, what?! Apparently the immobile object (engine) wasn't able to be fitted where all mounts could be accessed. Mainly, the top. I don't know if this is BS or what. I'm stuck with it now. Any advice on this would be awesome....except peanut gallery comments. HA!
Anyhow, the frame needs to be painted, but you know what? I should have waited to do that anyhow. I should have known to mock this thing up right and get everything lined up before I had it painted. Hmm, all of my lessons have a monetary value it seems.
I did mock up the engine and transmission with the primary chain attached. Just to see if it lined up. It seems to look good. I slowly hand cranked the starter and it looks true. Hard to turn it over by hand. I suppose that's a good thing. Lots of compression. Here are some pics
