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.
