It was complete, and heavy. Valve cover looks real ugly, plugs broke, starter bolts bent, this looks nasty.

My machine shop had a new helper that dropped my block of the bench and did not tell bother to tell anyone. Once we got it back, we found a crack in the block and asked the machine shop what happened. He went and asked his new helper about it and he confessed, so I got a new factory ten over block machined for the problem! I hope you get it checked out before installing it in your truck. I also hope your luck is better than mine!
