When I originally put my motor in, it was all I could find locally.  And now I have a 22r style.  But the air block off plates makes it too thick for the head studs.  And I should have gotten the longer exhaust studs when I made the gasket order with Putney, but I thought I would be fine.  And nobody in town has the longer studs, or even threaded rod in 10x1.25 thread. 

But my main goal was the headgasket, and I need to get it running.  My BIL's truck is starting to get sketchy to drive.  It is starting to randomly shut off while driving.    

Don't worry, I will be making another order from Putney in the future.  Next time it will be for the longer OE exhaust studs, ex manifold gasket, the harmonic balancer (mine has been leaking since it was rebuilt, and I am going to do it right!!), and a couple small things.  And then at the same time, I will upgrade to the V6 radiator.   

Once that is all done, then I am gonna tear apart the dual cases and start cleaning those up.
