Not much new to see... put the brake lines back in place and reinstalled the clutch for bracket. Shooting for Sunday to install the engine and transmission.

Spent all morning and most of the afternoon getting the engine and transmission ready to go back in the car tomorrow. Cleaned some parts, hunted down fasteners, etc. All the usual things that we neglect to do in the process.
     Started my day off with a pipe plug in the cylinder head that wouldn't budge. It rounded off inside. Tried to chase it with a chisel, bigger mess. Had to drill it out in steps, 3/8 -> 1/2 -> 9/16. Then I folded it from the top center with the chisel. I was actually able to grab it and unthread it by hand once it started to fold. I had the correct tap, so I cleaned the threads and installed the temp sender. I was highly irked, what a waste of time. I wonder why the machine shop neglected to remove it?
