Thanks, I'm sure I'll be bugging you for help.

No parts bought yet.Still waiting for my slow ***
machinist to call me back to tell me if the crank and block checked out OK.

I'm acually not sure if I'm going to go with the KB or Speed-pro pistons in the 307 flat top flavor.
Once I measure the crank,rods and pistons I'll match them up.
Then bring the deck down what ever I need to get to zero and use head studs.
