a friend from a friend offered to weld the exhause crossover for me...pretty cool



put a plug in


welded it for me


cool photo of him at work


took the shortblock and heads to the shop


heads were not flat (I was told they are by seller)
this is a photo of three passes by the machine shop and the heads still wasnt flat....well...the extra compression will be nice for my Propane setup


traced the debris in my heads back to coal in my valve cover. I feel so dumb for not cleaning them and putting them with coal inside them on my fresh engine....


while the shop was working on my heads, replaced my cam bearings and replaced a couple freeze plugs..I went ahead, pulled my dashboard and placed some green leds behind the gauges










short block is back...bought a new crank and bearings


crank is in


putting pistons back in


finished and closed the bottom part


that is where I am at right now. hope to finish the top this weekend.
