I sense a stream of "BHG" remarks coming. I'd double check to make sure it's bled properly... after you change the thermostat.

count on spending much of the night troubleshooting, "runs" isn't the same as "runs well"

just use a new good gasket and I can't forsee a problem with it. supramacist: yea no worries, I didn't mean to come off like a knob in the first one, and re-reading it I kinda did, oops *blush* that heater line is the biggest concern, frankly the coolant hose routing around these motors...

clean your battery terminals dude.

make sure it's TDC on compression stroke, not exhaust. the nubs on the cams should be straight up iirc. the other way is to look at the cams and visually check that the valves are closed on cylinder 1, if you have the covers on already you can look down thru the oil filler cap.

a little firewall massaging with a hammer solves it. but definitely there will be guys that aren't willing to take that step.

the only dimension that's same on an LS series GM V8 and the 1955 283 block.... is bore center distances. That's it. I'm not one to preach about "keep it toyota" or any other ridiculous crap like that, but seriously, what would the point be in using a 327 in a 3rd generation supra. what exactly...

where's his alternator?

n00b question, but can we just swap ring and pinion? which carriers will accept which gears?

damn where in Canada are you? it's +5 here...
