wrecking a 69-70 carb 164

Well finally it's happening...!!
I'm wrecking a 69-70 carb 164. After 17 years of service the body is finally --- Stuffed -- Not rust but physical breakup and discovery that it had a big bang in the past that leaves it's alignment somewhat suspect. LHS door closures (B pillars) are different!
Pity but not worth more effort...
So the suspension and 5 speeed gearbox are being rebodied into a 1972-3 injected body. Engine will be changed too!
I'm tempted to update the injection for fun.. But lets get it going first.
The old engine may be tickled and have an injected head fitted. But well see.
The mains are a bit worn as a result of a duff oil pump drive.;
Bugger.
