Thanks Oly , the pictures came out real good .
The block has a waxy preservative compound that covers everything and the label that was wired onto the block says to strip and clean the unit before use .
So I will do that , and while the cam is out , I plan to freshen it up a little , to aid the breathing
and take the appropriate chunk off the head
to make this into an 8.5:1 compression engine ,, all the better to run on todays gas
.
Perhaps give the odd FQRD a surprise too
.
