Mike having trouble with my internet. Answered you three times and they were never posted!! Well I hope today goes better. Installed the crank 5 times yesterday it had clearance problems.(end play) two sets of bearings and sanding on the thrust bearings finally got minimal clearance. then Oil pump and oil pickup tube took four hours alone clearancing and modifying. Kinda sucked!!!LOL Well now I just have the front and top end to do today. But the pistons didn't end up being at the proper height either so now I'm getting creative on head gaskets. Usually there is a little bit of delays and speed bumps but this one seems to have a few more than usual. I used a older style block which didn't have the same dech height, but it was suppose to.
I'll get it all ironed out this afternoon!!

It's usually the ones like this that turns out to be the best. My first engine was a beast to get together and it turned out better than what we thought it would be. Hopefully the rest will fall in place for ya, Good luck!!!
