Biggest problem with this will be getting the bolt holes clean.

Update: drivers head went on no issues.

So in summary both heads went on easily with all studs in place. No trans jacking or anything necessary.

Im just happy i have something resembling an engine finally. Ive been staring at a shortblock for the past week and a half.
