Completed the first major engine repair on my 69 c10

Bought my truck a few months ago, it has a 350 in it. After driving it for a bit I noticed it smoked pretty bad after I started it back up after a drive. I was losing a half gallon of water every 30 miles and it was blowing a lot of water in the recovery tank.
So I tore it down and found a cracked head. I ordered and installed a rebuilt set of heads from indy cylinder heads. They are cast iron heads with 64cc chambers and new 2.02 and 1.60 valves and Springs. While it was down I put a new double roller chain and a summit 1102 cam in it. And I managed to leave the oil pan on and replace the timing cover without a leak!!
Anyway, it all back together and running great. Sound good too. First time messing with a chevy engine. Grew up with mopars.
