I know I'm missing some things but you get the gist of it, this should be a nice daily driver motor.
I'll be making a nice write up when I'm ready, I have taken pictures of the entire process. This write up is still far away cause I'm going to finish the AWD first.

I belive the inside of the house is the best place if you dont have a temprature controlled clean room laying around.

Nice to see you're still in the game!

I'm in the midst of porting a head to install on the GVR4. Where should I take it to get cleaned/decked, and reassembled?

my bad looked like you had a bunch in machine work

Yes, you got it right, he works at a machine shop!

I got the bare block and AWD tranny instaled in the Summit and it is heading up to HTP a local turner shop to have the AWD installed this week. I wanted so much to do it my-self but I dont have the three thing's I need (time,welder,lift). This was one of the only shop in the STL I would let work on my C/S/M,DSM. I will have many pics comming in the next few weeks.
