Once I was done.....it all fit!
PLEASE NOTE: BELT IS WAY TOO BIG, so don't use this number to go buy a belt....shouldn't have put that in the pic! This was just to rough test fit the alignment and fitment of all the other stuff!
There is still much to do yet....like a Chinese jig saw puzzle or building an engine....you don't put the pistons in then try and put them on the rods....or put in the crank.....!
I need to take this all apart and install gaskets, and all the water hoses!
Assembly is something like this:
1) install all large water pipes & hoses & unions
2) install heater hoses
If you are working with a hoist, then perhaps reverse 1 & 2!!
3) install AC pump bracket
4) install pulleys
5) install AC pump and belts
5A) Place alternator into position in bracket
6) make top engine heater hose connections (don't trim until alternator is placed!
7) Adjust alternator belt and tighten everything down.
8) Beer, bandaids, and pain killers!
9) Place holder for the stuff I forgot........
