Number 8 piston was the one giving me trouble. But I found that the top ring gland on #3 had some damage from pre detonation or heat and the top ring was broken in three places. The engine has always had a weird noise on the rotating assembly. Maybe this was it

Did you pull the short block out already?

Not yet but getting close. Gonna drop the tranny first slide it out then work on removing the block. I do not have an engine hoist so it'll have to come out the bottom.

Attachment 1696118The whole front end is off hopefully will be able to stick the LS in place and finish the motor mounts.

So I set it in there and now it's a matter of figuring out the engine placement fore and aft so that I can drill the holes for the motor mounts. TO BE CONTINUED
