Woody, when you get ready to put that head back you will have trouble keeping the head gasket in place. A trick that I use is to get a couple of 3/4 in x 3 in. bolts and cut the head off and taper the cut ends. I then cut a slot in the top for a screw driver and put one on each end of the block. These guide screws will keep the gasket in place while you slip the head over them.
These bolts also work well on the top holes of the bell housing for guide screws for the transmisson.
