The old engine was an old Mark Stephens.  I think they are no longer
around tho. It probably had about 90K on it.  This new rebuild used
new AMC heads.

I forgot to mention the compression test  numbers were done w/ engine
cold which is not right either.  I'll redo compression with a warmed
up engine and then do ta wet compression later. I will report back
what I find.
thanks,
ken
