Michael -

The items you mentioned were all on the engine when it was painted at Flint V-8, plus the distributor, water pump, bellhousing, etc. The photo below was taken on the shipping dock at Flint V-8 in 1955, and shows the "state of dress" of the engine as-shipped. Didn't change much through the 60's.

Re: Help

Michael- There is a program called Autoresto that you may want to look into. You can read about it at Autoresto.com. I used it when I started working on my 55, which was also in boxes. The previous owner started on it in 1991, and I bought it in 2004. The program will help you keep up with what you have to do, what vendors you use to buy parts and services from, and how much you have spent, and an estimate of how much you still have to spend. I found it to be very helpful. The cost of the program is very reasonable. Good luck with your project.
