New oil cooler installed. Along with the new sleaves, pistons, and valves (2056, somewhere near 8.4:1 compression).
Question for the hive mind. Should I put the heat exchangers/headers on now or wait till it's in the car? It is not on an engine stand.  |

I always wait until the engine is in the car. That way you can loose assemble everything and then torque stuff in the correct order.
And you don't have to worry about bumping the heat exchangers while installing the engine. Just my $.02 |
