Anyone familiar with this motor? I’ve got all the components to put the top half back together and I need help identifying what I need to do to make this thing run this weekend.

Here is a picture of all of the components that are not currently on the motor. The brown box is a new set of gaskets for a complete rebuild, but at this point I just want to put it together and try and get it to run and I’m not even sure what to do first.

This is the motor right now as it sits.

I’ve heard that the shop manual is a good starting point. Here are some more resources that I found detailing the engine.

Any luck getting it to run? I’d love to see a build thread on here!

Got her to turn over this past weekend. Got some backfire out of it too. Need to make sure the timing is correct and go from there!
