 Regarding your 5 month engine build. I was in Summit Racing in Sparks, NV last Friday returning some tires, a guy at the counter said he's been waiting on a camshaft he ordered since last March. YIKES!
 Concerning 30_40's reply to your picture with the temp indicator glued (RTV'd) on the block. That was installed from the wrecking yard where he purchased the engine. I bought a replacement (used) engine for my Trailblazer and I watched the rep glue that indicator on prior to me taking possession. And yes, it's for the rebuilder/wrecking yard to make sure you don't overheat it and bring it back for warranty replacement.Keith 
 
 I keep telling myself, it's only money!

 Well I definitely don't hope to be waiting 5 months for my engine. I'm taking it to the shop today, get it back in two weeks and I'll continue from there. The 5 months is being introduced by my wait for P&J chassis. My goal is to have a completed engine by the end of March
 
 To that end, here is a question for the group - I have located a body and they can get it to me within a week or so. Is it a mistake to get the body before the chassis? I think I can still work on some of the basics of the body without the chassis and still be OK. Obviously I wont be doing things like drilling mounting holes, but I think I can put in some work while I wait for the chassis delivery, no?
