Thanks Scooting. Luckily, I have 2 other engines sitting that I can use to rebuild. My plan is to rebuild one and make a run stand, because I've wanted one for years now, run the engine on it and then remove the old engine and set this one in in a weekend. I dug out my tore apart long block from storage today. I will peel the head off tonight and put it on an engine stand and find out how nice it is inside. Sure makes a guy rethink what could be overlooked after a deal like this.
