Yes you would want the blocks out before the mufflers go in. Not sure what NTFDAY is referring to. But you got a grip on the procedure

Speedway says delivery on Friday so I started on radiator removal this evening. Drained coolant from rad and block and it wasn't rusty or full of junk at all. Was a pretty good strain on the back getting the tranny cooler lines off and plugged and I didn't lose but just a little tranny fluid. Getting up and down several times made me decide to finish it in the morning or Friday morning. Looks like I should probably remove the chrome grill also in order to do it right. Looks like there's only 4 bolts holding it in - - 2 on each end at top and 2 on bottom about 1/4 way in from the sides. This will also allow me to drop the hose on the tranny cooler and replace with new hose and put a bolt in that was left out that holds the radiator to the housing. I may have to get a slightly larger spacer or shim the shroud a little towards the fan to get it properly located so it works properly. Sure looking forward to the fabricating and construction and hope I get rewarded with a cooler running engine.
