the day went pretty well............began on the new block,proceeded good and then we had a stripped head bolt and had to helicore that one.....
Needed a few Misc. parts from the places that never have what you neede,but we finally got back on track.torqued down the heads got the rockers on and valves temporarily adjusted.lower intake on and oil in the block. I left about 745 and Lee called later and asked: "Did Seco not sell you a spacer for the new Harmonic balancer" well of course,I was not aware I needed one,nor did they recommend one.......Not the car sits yet for another week until I get the spacer up there........... Sometimes you can win for losing......... BUT...I am quite pleased with the progress and the working knowledge Lee has.........

motor is in the car. Have everything bolted up but the radiator, injectors, and upper intake.
Unfortunately we'll have to remove the passenger header from the head next weekend to put the damn 02 sensor in. The bung is in a strange place

The injectors are fine; they just need new pintle caps and o-rings.
However, you'll probably want to upgrade to 24# injectors whenever you get a chance.
