Great seeing you too. Wish I would have had the straps to make you an ECM mount.
what kind of ecm mounts are you making? have any pics?

I'll try to describe it:
He mounts a piece of flat steel under the head of the engine mount, then welds a piece of steel to it and bolts the ECM to it. The welded pieces of steel are in the shape of an "L".
Progress has been slow. My drive to work is roughly 40-45 minutes so when I have been getting off work after 5pm, it's 6pm by the time I get home, then supper, spend a little bit of time with the family, etc.
I wanted to get the pump ready to install for good on the engine so I did a little prep work. Here I am removing an oil plug to make room for the pump oil line fitting. The instructions said to use the fitting right behind the factory oil line to the aux drive.
Here is the fitting in the block.
This is the restricted fitting in the pump.
Just a pointer, if you are pulling the pump again to do the tappet cover cut a slot into the front of the pump shaft. With your TDC pointer you can use a 3/8" drive flathead attatchment and a breaker bar and you will be able to set the dampner and rotate the pump to make timing adjustments in minutes. I have pictures if you need them.
Here's two pics of the turning tool that dvst8r (Brett) and I fabbed up two years back. I saw it from someone else on here earlier. Its a pump nut welded to a 1/2" NF nut with a spacer between. Jam the bolt against the end of the shaft, use a wrench to turn the pump, release the jam bolt, then set the gear in place. Works great, no need for slotting pump shafts.
