Ground the valves and seats on the cylinder head of my 235 donor engine and reassembled... ready to go.

Removed the hood, pulled the radiator, fan, water pump, etc. off the existing 216 and squirted PB Blaster on all the bolts and screws holding the front clip on. Plan to begin removing front end next week and pull the 216 out with bell housing and transmission in one unit. Meanwhile, put the truck on a lift and the king-pins checked out OK.
