Oh, and I forgot installing the cam, that was done too. A cam is useful to make the motor run.
Completed short block, well mostly.
The rest of the dress out went smoothly and the engine was installed into the car.
The install didn't go well though because the old headers no longer fit the engine. The car got a different subframe as mentioned in a previous post, but, things were just enough different that the header pipes fouled on the steering shaft. They touched before, but now there was a 1/4" of interference and, given the old exhaust was crappy, it was time to have a new one built.
