Me either. Can't seem to track it. I absolutely loath UPS freight. That's why I opted to go pick it up at the terminal. No need for an 8 hr window to wait through then have them miss it anyway.

I got a couple other things done today but no pics. I got the oil pan cleaned up and in primer and the center section of the oil cooler as well. I've got a bunch of stuff that needs to get painted black. I'll do that after the weekend. Hopefully I'll get tracking info that works. Probably won't though. They will call me wanting me to come get it because it's been sitting there for a week. [emoji849]

So this is what you get.

To my surprise, it came with an oil pump. Victor Reinz gasket set. Box says it was engine tech gaskets rings and bearings. ARP head studs are installed and the upgraded cam gear is installed.

Not super thrilled it's sitting on a crank lobe instead of like the oil pan rails but I suppose it will be fine.

I'm surprised it wasn't painted black. It looks like something is sprayed on it but I've got an email into promar to find out what they put on it. Whatever it is its metal colored.

So now it begins.

Looks great. You would think they could afford just a little more wood to set it on something other than crankshaft.

Head studs.

No. I checked block number is quite visible.
