Default It's alive!
Finally got the stroker in... fired up on the first try, only problem was a plug was left out next to the distributor..evidently a second location for a oil sending unit. I had to run down to the local auto parts store for some litty litter, and a plug.
I still need to put the radiator in, new belts, plug wires and hangars, and a few odds and ends.

Congratulations! It's always neat when an engine fires for the first time.
