My engine came completely assembled as you can see in the picture below. As I said in a previous post, these engines have gone through at least 4 part numbers which may account for the changes (no water pump and not completely assembled). Fuel pump and starter were the only things not included.
Hey FirstOwner69 I have a question for you on behalf of 1972BlueC20: The threaded hole on the top of the intake manifold on the driver's side-is it 1/2" NPT or 5/8" NPT?

If it's 1/2" NPT then 72Blue could put his coolant sensor there.
