Engine rebuild going good . I am at a standpoint since the next step require the intake in place . But I don’t have any injector at the moment so I will wait to put back on the intake manifold .
As you can see , the alternator didn’t receive any attention . I was not confident to take it apart .!

Little update , nothing much interesting but surely Some foward things! Take it apart the intake manifold
I will need to modified the throttle body : -Built a block off plate for the coolant holes and the pcv tube -JB weld or real weld the elbow that are always loose on our TB -add another vaccum port for the vaccum distributor box I want to make. As every time , all this will be refresh ! I also start to pull the engine . 
Car on jack stand Pretty much is disconnected (electrical and mechanical) Maybe an hour of work Again and I will (try) to pull the engine off. First time for me , finger crossed haha !

Today I pull my first engine ever
Everything has been pretty good. It is straightforward . Unconect things that is attached to the engine , then pull. Seriously , you don’t need spécial tool , except the engine hoist and engine leveler. Took me 5h hours from the time I stop the car in it’s place to the engine on the ground . 
I am happy , this is a big step for a man who never done this haha! Look what 30 years can do to an engine 
Now I have plenty of work ahead !

Little update for today ! I receive the new part for the ignition système -Bpr7es spark plug -bremi distributor cap -bosch rotor -bbt spark plus wire - the 2 coolant sensor
I don’t wait any second and install them on the engine , and install to , temporary , the manifold and the turbo 
So good looking but .. I got an issue with the turbo and the spark plug wire . They touch the turbo housing and blanket + they will be very close to the downpipe .. 
At first I taught I can modify the manifold . To see how much I can play with it , I install the engine on the engine bay 
Then I realize i have 0 space to modify the manifold . It is close to the frame rail and will be at 1/2“ from the hood .. 
So , at the moment I’m working on a solution to push the spark plug wire toward the intake manifold . To be continued .. About the throttle body . I have delete the coolant pass in the throttle . For those who ever think about how the coolant pass in the TB . In fact , it doesn’t pass inside the TB , the coolant only touch it via little Chanel . 
I also remove the pcv return and weld the hole . Since I will run an catch can , I no longer need this port. I also make an block off Plate for the coolant pass . 
I also add a second port for extra vacuum source . Then the IAC elbow and the 2 vacuum elbow were loose and it is impossible to weld it to throttle since it’s not compatible . So I « cold weld » it with permatex stuff. 
Way way better than JB weld . To make it strong AF , I « cold weld » it in 2 step , first step was before push them into place , and second step was at the outside to make an « sandwich » with the glue . 
It is so strong . The only concern I have will be the longevity since the aluminium could expand/retract with all the heat .. time will tell ..! Little coat of paint to make look fresh 
Next will be the tranny cleaning ..!

Thanks ! I keep posting because I know there are peolple who like my build without commenting . Things have advance a little bit . Nothing big for an update but everything is so time consuming !... Finished to wash the tranny
I wanted a better result but , I have give enough time to this transmission , it’s way better than before anyway ! All the seal were do 2 years ago so , except an oil change , no more work on it ! I also work on the engine bay . -remove the abs pump and line (will redo the brake line ) -remove all unnecessary braket -start to clean before the body work
