yay got my engine

spent 5 hours re doing all the brake lines in my car friday night with help from a mate who has all the swaging tools etc and is pretty good at it. Got my motor back yesterday night and took all the bits to go on it (webbers etc ) out to the mrs olds place where i will be using their hoist so I will be getting stuck in all week after work so hopefully it will all be in shortly.
I will post up pics tomorrow.

Went out to shed after work and did a few hours putting bits and pieces on the engine.
Fitted webbers, extractors, pulleys, oil pressure sender etc
I still have to paint the rocker cover in black wrinkle paint but its on ther to keep the dust out for now.
took a few photos of the engine and also the new brake lines. Just have to buy a wilwood brake bias tap. ordered a new thrust bearing and spigot bush today so when they get here the engine/box can be fitted. im a bit unsure on the black crank pulley.I originally painted it blue and that looked tacky so I sprayed it black and now not sure. Maybe electriplated like the water pump pulley

SORRY ABOUT THE SHIT QUALITY PHOTOS, THY ARE OFF MY PHONE
