Don't get it right, just get it running. 85 318 roller

I'm back at it. Got the short block all done. Had this water pump laying around, from my old 340 (that's why it's orange) I put a flowkooler on that engine. I will probably paint it all one color once all together. We'll see.

All went well. A special thanks to @krazykuda for his how to SB tutorials. Sure made a nice reference as I was going along.

I still have a few lifters to clean. Not sure if the lifters will go in with the head on or not. If not, I'll have to wait until they're all clean. It's going slow, because I'm keeping them in order. (Cleaning one at a time)
