Engine Rebuilding Project

I decided to make an ongoing diary of my engine building project. I tried to take pictures as I go along, usually finding myself snapping some shots after the part of the project is completed … not necessarily while I’m doing it. Since this isn’t really a "How To" or anything, just simply a diary of an engine rebuilding project.
As new steps are made, I’ll be adding to the diary until it’s finished … oh, the day I hear her run again –

After I jacked up the front of the car, I went ahead to slid ramps under the front to wheels, then jacked up the rear end by the rear axle. I’ll have a better picture of that later.
Here is the intake system all taken out. Getting ready to remove the heads. The reason why I took the heads off prior to removing the engine was originally, I planned on getting the heads done. After thinking about it, I decided to "freshen" up the bottom half so I proceeded to pull the bottom half out later on.
Heads are off.

The exhaust valves aren’t really that white … I guess they had some reflective characteristics which make them look whiter than they really are. The car was running fine, not lean!
Intake ports before picture, we’ll see what they look like when I get them back.
