Yes 92mm TB and intake. Intake had been matched to the headache.
Thanks for the info. It is hot here in AZ SO I don't get to work on it much. Garage is like a oven. I do work on it in the evening

All parts are moving very well. All clearances are set and checked and rechecked. Next week should see the short block finished.
