I have no problems getting weights and measurements of the components. The tools necessary are on hand and I know how to use them.

The plan was to use my spare block. If it checks out okay I'll have it decked (minimum cut) and use it. It may need a sleeve or two because of a scorch on the deck but Phil (bore/hone guy) said he can get them for about $25 each.

Should the block not check out I can use the engine that is in the Imperial now. I really wanted to just swap them out since I don't have room for the car in the shop now.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
