Here are some numbers on the first four cylinders I checked.
Ring end gap
Top
Middle
Oil
Protrusion. Looks like it's right on the money.

Plastigage on the crank to rod bearing checks out within tolerance.

It's normally the bushing on the small end that needs attention.

I considered having the bushings replaced as precautionary if protrusion was off. They are otherwise in good shape. I'd also be much more comfortable getting new rods, but I think that is unnecessary in this case. The rods have 60k btw.

Thanks man, Ford grey seemed fitting. Seal #1 got destroyed on attempt to ease it on with the pulley. Got cocked and that was that. I don't have money for the installer, but I guess I do for a new seal (or two)

That's the one. Can't justify spending that though.. Does anyone have one I could borrow?

Used a metal plate to get the wear sleeve down to the crank surface, then the pulley to get it to it's proper depth on the shaft. Arps set and heads assembled. Will be looking for a large torque wrench today to finish the heads. Is there anyone local who can let me borrow theirs?

That engine stand looks bad ***. I like how the legs are spread for weight distribution.

Let's hope the engine enjoys the engine bay better than that stand!

It is a great stand, and at a great price from harbor freight. Definitely one of their stand out products. No pun intended.

Well, it's been a while since I've updated so here's where I'm at. Wiring the engine and figuring out a way to get it back in the truck in the yard.

I bet you can't wait for the day to slide it home. Looks good.
Did you consider replacing the flex joints on the y up-pipe? It would be a lot easier to do it now.
