And now I'm tired and sore. LOLGot .003 Main bearing clearance and .002 on the rods. Cam degreed fine, had a little trouble getting the Milodon pan on over the girdle. Opened up the intake gasket's to match the ported heads and intake. It'll have almost 13-1 compression now too.
I'll put it in the car tommorow after church. 
Time for a hot-tub after a little bbq.  SteveW

Bitchin' What did you change to raise the compression? That's a big jump from where it was, isn't it? COOL ------------------
