Got the oil lines and thermostat installed today. Tightening the fittings in situ looked difficult so I decided to get all the fitting angles correct and tighten as a unit on my bench and install complete.

I did not realize at first that the thermostat is is rotated 30-40* from the brass lines. Once I got that dialed in things came together OK. With the proper high clearance wrenches it would probably be easier to install on the car, a piece at a time.
