Hello folks, I've been lingering in the back of the class, over at Garage Journal, with the cool kids for a few years, but it's time to come out of the shadows. I'm about to put together a 302 for a pickup that I just got and thought I might be able to glean some know how from you fine folks. I've never built an engine, but I'm handy with a wrench, and I can read. Hopefully that'll do. Take care. MIGHTY_HARE
