Well... I just can't win guys. There's not gonna be enough time to get this build done and the car running before I have to move to Florida. I got a month or less before the cars gotta be ready to go. I called my boy Chad a PM&E to get the motor put back together with all fresh gaskets, bearings, and rings. Looks like this threads taking a interesting turn ha?

Was suppose to have my motor back last week, but my main bearings got back ordered. Called again today and recieved some more bad news, because my crank got a little rust on it while I was gone it needed a polish which put the journals right at the minimum clearances if that makes any sence. Hope everything is gonna work out.

So I finally got the clutch on. Today is Saturday the 25th and I have about 6 days to get everything ready to ship.
Drilled some hole in the lifter for oil flow.

I've been very busy getting ready to leave here soon so I'm playing catch up with the thread.
Primed.
Masked up the valley cover for a little paint.
Here's some pictures of the block after paint. I thought it came out pretty good for a rush job.
