freeing up engine

It will be a while until I get to the start up stage. A previous owner(s) before my Brother had it really butchered everything. The wiring is a mess. I need to remove the cheap headers, air cleaner assembly, and other mods and replace with factory correct parts. I just got the gas emptied out of the tank. Next step is to get it up in the air safely so I can work underneath it. I have to replace all of the brake and fuel lines. After that I can go through the wiring and make sure there are no shorts from animals chewing on them.
