Well I finally got the head torqued down. I ended up using a 8Mx1.25 helicoil. I the coil came with a 10Mx1.25 tap which I ran down the hole, then did the coil. The stud went in firm and torqued just like it should.

Right Now I have the frame cut to fit the new motor. I ended up cutting out the center bar. I will be welding the wishbone piece in soon.

I did snag a good deal on a LRD pipe. Which took some doing to get to fit correctly in the 85 frame. The pip was not able to clear the bottom part of the a arm support piece, So I ended up notching the bar right under the a arm and bent the support piece forward, without moving the a arm mount, this allowed the pipe to clear the frame piece by an 8th of an inch. Once I get it all welded back up, painted, electrical ran and other minor issues sorted out she'll be up and running. I'm hoping by the end of the month.
