Did you braze the oil pan or ??
OK. I have verified that UPS needs improvement in south Texas. Finally got the piston and verified length of connecting rod. Taped up engine bay and painted my water pump, which I should have done to begin with. Put the 7 and 8 pistons in, put my heads on, and then topped it off with the intake. Heavy lifting out of the way. Now I just have to button up the rest and we'll be good to go hopefully.
