Thanks Guys!

I have some catching up to do. Here are parts 36-40.

Assembly of 36 is not very intuitive and placement on the engine is not outlined much at all. Once I figured out what went where though, assembly was not an issue.

37 was a breeze, no issues

38 is the belt and pulley installation. I used Snake's advice but think that certain parts of the pulleys need not be so thick. Once I placed the engine in the frame the bottom pulley wedged against the front axle mount.

The exhaust build from parts 39 was a little exhausting. The manifolds were fiddly and I don't like rolling long thin tubes from cardstock. Snakes input on parts issues were mostly right although I have yet to glue the exhaust pipe assemblies in place since they are in need of some paint.

Parts 40 are the details shown on the right side of the oil pan. The only issue is the silver canister and engine bolt are supposed to occupy the same space.

Anyway, I think I'm at a point where I may need to build something else just to change things up a bit.
