In the begining, there was the block....here just after it had been crack tested and acid bathed.

Now we've got the pistons, crank, etc in the block....plus the heads, roller rockers and a coat of paint.

Now we're getting there....pretty much all assembled, now to install it.

Okay, the front wheels, steering assembly, etc rolled out of the front of the van....engine, headers, transmission mounted in place.

Now, roll her all back in.

Once the carb and air-cleaner goes on, it's a tight fit....but she looks good.

And here it is at the end....note the number plate.
