Here's some update pics. It's been slow going. Most days I get maybe an hour of free time to put in on it. The wedding went off great yesterday, so now maybe I can focus more time on it...
Of note in this pic is the oil pump pickup. The P/N listed by Sealed Power isn't anywhere close to being right and the Mitsu part is discontinued. Might be something to add to the pull lists for future use...
My pick-a-bolt selection area...
Reman GenII gearbox...
New distibutor...
New injectors...
All new ignition parts and all new sensors and switches...
All new timing covers...
I've amassed a very large array of new stuff to go back in with. I'm hoping it'll all pay off by feeling alot like a new truck...

Looks good! Those new parts are great! They should help take the aggravation factor out of that engine for a long time. 
Did you not have the block decked?

Funny you say that. By measuring, it was resurfaced about .002". But visually, it appears to not have been touched. I can say that it feels smoother than it did before it went to the machine shop, but the gasket "designs" that I could feel before are now just barely visible in the surface. It's odd because it seems to show up better in pictures than in person. Could it just be that the deck surface is stained? Or is that even possible?

Baby steps in the last fews days. The wife's recovering from gallbladder removal surgery so I've been home from work. Figured I'd have beaucoup time to play with it, but not so much...
Anyway, heres a few pics of the progress. The oil pan gasket is the Fel-Pro good one, as are the head gaskets. I got 90 lb/ft torque on the bolts after chasing the threads per Franks instructions. Not real happy with the paint adhesion on the new Mitsu oil pan. Maybe I didn't scuff it up well enough or let the paint cure long enough. You can see where it came off on the socket used to tighten the oil pan bolts. Oh well...
Maybe I'll have some time tomorrow to do some more...

Looks good - the paint is slow to cure until it gets some heat.
