Thanks a lot guys. You feel good when you think you've done something halfway decent, but the confirmation from others puts you over the top with joy. I appreciate all your comments
I'll try to take more pictures Friday. The car is at my parents house. I may have more pics on my phone, but they don't look as good as these.

Great to hear it's running again! BTW, do you happen to know the paint color code of that blue? It should be indicated on the "door" tag (if still there). thinking about (eventually) repainting my car in a lighter color to either that or maybe Mazda's "Phantom Blue"...
It looks awesome!!
That first engine pic almost made me cry.
Glad to hear it's up and running again.
Turned out way too cool!
It inspired me even more to take my engine/tranny out for some serious detailing like i did with my Mazda when I put on it a new clutch and suspension.

Thanks! I figured you like that. I have to see how your car has come along.
Yup, it still has the tag, I'll try to look at it and give you the code.
Thanks!
