More progress made last Saturday. With new oil in the pan, the fuel line was hooked up and the exhaust manifold was put on. The battery was charged to allow us to see if it would fire up. At this point a couple of cylinders/valves need to be tuned. Regardless, by late in the afternoon, the start button was pushed. It turned and turned but just wasn't able to catch. That's OK as this allowed the oil to get pumped up into the rocker boxes and throughout the block. We think we just need a more charged up battery bank to get it going.
Work will continue on Thursday as the water portion has to be hooked up (pump, hoses, radiator). We're pushing hard to get done in the next couple of weeks.
Cross your fingers.
