For the first time......... assembled long block and chassis in the same place. plan as of now is to look at fitting this in about a week, to ten days. More info to follow............
So along with a long block, I got 3 bins (30"x18"x18") of stuff...... like the partial wiring harness, the original T/B, engine mounts and many other parts along with a 5# bag of hardware. I spent the better parts of a day going through the bins sorting and finding bits and bobs. Enough to fit the alternator (yeah). As far as P/S and A/C, the power steering will end up being an in-column electric type, and an open window will have to suffice for cooling.
So now that I've found most of the pieces - I'll be dismantling these later this week so they can go to the powder coater.
more to come...... 
In reply to oldeskewltoy :
I like the looks of the finish on this. However, long ago I went to a customers shop to work on his dry sump system and he had just installed a billet block and heads. Being a machinist, I was dazzled by the totality of machined surfaces. I sanded and polished the valve covers and intake mfd on mine but after years of setting in this tropical climate they look really bad. Toyota's aluminum alloy surface corrodes fast here. What paint did you use?

I believe they used their alumiblast
I used that on my Lotus transaxle.

Dan, have you decided on which gearbox you are going to use? I'd love to see if you had any luck with the manual conversion

The manual conversion is still on track.
I think that crank pulley needs more sheaves.

For a pre-Gilmer drive 6-71 blower?
It's nice as other people spend my money......... 
But seriously... there is one "report" out there of a boosted 5V making around 400hp. The owner had some cylinder shift at that power level.
