Block is almost done, well all the machine work is done the crank is turned and balanced. It came out 10 10, I dont know if i put this in before but i used a crank out of a vette I heard they where stronger. I ordered my bearings and when they come in we will start Assembly

Just wanted to give an update , I was hoping to have this finished by now but last week i got a call from the machine shop and they told me they didn't have a ring filer. SO im picking up all the parts and taking everything to another shop for Assembly. Its the same shop that will be installing it for me.
