The guy I got it from says there gets small amounts of oil into the coolant. I know about the ovaling of the cylinders. I will check that if or when I do the head gasket. I didn't buy it for a project car, I have enough of those. I just looked,, #17 head. That's a plus.
Tom, that truck is looking sweet.
