So a couple months ago I found a suitable stock bore engine that I decided to send to the machine shop along with a .040 piston to have it bored and honed too. I was lucky to find a set of main and rod bearings , so I had the crank turned too. I now have the crank and block back from the machinist and will start to assemble this motor. I post up more as I proceed. But this is what I have thus far. Also, I might add these replacement pistons have the extra compression ring and I decided to use a set of rods from a 305C motor. They are noticeably bigger stronger rods than the 305 E motor to make this bottom end bullet proof for my 1/2 ton truck.

Cheers,
Steve
