Time to pull out the leaky 305 to install the 478. Need to borrow some parts from the 305 first. Also, finish the frame paint in the engine bay and paint the firewall in the 503 light green color. Started today by pulling the SM420, then took it apart to change the front seal (I had changed the rear seal prior) and chamfer the ends of the shift forks to allow for a cushion of oil to be forced in between the fork and shift ring. All looks good and new oil will be added when the trans is installed.

Now onto pulling the old 305, then freshening up the engine bay. Got quite a few jobs to do. Been looking to get started for a long time, quite the feeling when you get there
