It is important to note that while I was removing items from the engine and taking photos I was also tagging and bagging all of the removed items. So I bought a couple of big boxes of zip lock bags: 1 quart size for small items and 1 gallon size for larger items.
It was at this point that an old friend of mine pointed out it might be a good time to get the transmission rebuilt given it was out and I was going thru all this work to rebuild the engine, so transmission rebuild got added to the list. I did some internet searching and contacted California Motorsports Inc. (CMI). Fortunate for me Ollie's Engineering and CMI are both located in Lake Havasu City, AZ so I could make one trip to drop off parts to both.
With the cases separated, I removed the crankshaft and the intermediate shaft / oil pump. I removed the connecting rods from the crankshaft. I got some giant zip lock bags and bagged the crankshaft and the case halves.
I loaded the trunk of my car with the transmission, case halves, crankshaft, rods, intermediate shaft, oil cooler and flywheel/pressure plate and drove from Milpitas, CA to Lake Havasu City, AZ (9 hours). Tim at Ollie's told me it would be 4 months to complete the engine work (middle of June) and Sean at CMI said they would complete the transmission in 8 weeks (middle of April).
