Finally starting the 68swb fleet

[tantrumpipeline]

plugging away, stripped, honed, and painted the block, set the pistons in the wash tank over night and removed the rings No need to machine as I see it, compression was great pre dismantle, and I am planning on a 383 short block after I'm on the road and if all plays out as planned, possibly a twin turbo setup for fun bearings all looked decent, crank looks good, and all standard bore and bearings, I'm pleased to say the least too bad the block has been welded, not in a water jacket but I'm thinking someone forgot that one last bellhousing bolt, heard from a friend of course because I've never done it before myself Lots of pics, we all know I'm a total picture whore
