Finally got the belts and pullies figured out too line up. I had to change the water pump to put the outlet or the right side and made a timing mark and plate for the left side. The engine came with no pullies so I picked some up from a garage a few miles away and got a power steering pump on ebay. I wanted to keep the steering pump on the high side and the belt from it to the crank pulley would not work because the water pump pulley was in the way. So I rearranged the pullies to make them work after some searching what too do.Napa store is about a mile away so 3 trips and got the correct belts to fit. Now that that is all mocked up and done I can take it back get it painted and install a new alternator. I rebuilt the engine new rings, main and rod bearings ground valves all new gaskets and soft plugs. I cold adjusted the tappets and getting it ready to start after painting outside on a nice day. I have the hydrolic bell housing to install along with the np435. The powerplant will be ready for my next project dont know what it is yet but will find something soon with taking some time for searching
