Thanks, scott.

Why are there 2 hose clamps on the outlet from the thermostat housing to the heater core?

I just received my clamp.  Came in from Hendersonvile, NC, wrapped in an Ingles sales paper.
So you not only have a clamp, but you know which groceries are on sale. ;)

Yes.  It was an old sales paper.  Pretty much like some of the meats and produce they sell.

Don't worry.  All the old stuff will now be sold.  The old prices, well...

While everything is out, it may be a good time to get the rust off the thermostat housing.

It has already been removed and the one from the 86 is ready to go on it.

I picked up the injectors and coldstart injector today.  I could have bought refurbs for 2/3 the price. I have a new neutral balanced flywheel and flywheel bolts.  I have an 86 oil pan gasket.  I need to identify the crankshaft.  There are supposed to be some identifying marks on them but I don't know what they are and where to look.  Zach suggested plastigage the rear main or at least pull it to see if there's any indication of uneven wear. 

Start transferring from the old to the new. 

Got any pipe dope?

While you're in that area, could someone get me pics of how the starter mounts, and the dust shield that can be removed to allow viewing of the weights on the flywheel?

I'll pull a dust shield from the garage and take it along with me.  The weight on the flywheel is up toward the top.  I rotated the engine to #1 TDC and that's where the weight ended up. 

I pulled the starter to get the pan off, but that makes it easier to see the mounting boss.
