Well, I don’t want to offend anyone. I had a chance to get this engine and “jumped” at the opportunity. It was in scattered pieces and not totally complete. I decided to gather the pieces and buy the other pieces and complete it,so I would have a handy replacement in case the one currently in my pickup “gave up the ghost”. Maybe it would have been better to leave the engine in scattered pieces,but I choose to believe that the engine will be happier back together and ready to run. A proud engine is better than a scattered one. - in my opinion. I really do love this site and don’t want to offend anyone, but give an old man (me) a little leeway. Thanks
