Will do I will post the results!
Update: The whole engine is assembled, minus the lower radiator hose that was no longer pliable enough to stretch over the water pump outlet. I just valve lash set cold, I can run it and reset it hot. I am going to run a ton of water through the old radiator as I saw a brown colored fluid come out of the lower hose.
More to follow!

Update: wrong hose was sent so I’m on standby until next week!
