55.2-59 Ol' Blue

HCB3200 helped identify the engine as a LMG. So, as Forest would say, "one less thing".

I hope to get it off to the machine shop later this week.

Well haven't been too busy, life has been in the way. However, I have gotten some things done.

Engine is going to the machine shop tomorrow. I will ask them when it will be done when I drop it off, but I'm hoping it's soon. I can't see much cross hatching in the cylinders, but it really looks clean other than that. The shop will hopefully only hone the cylinders, replace the cam bearings, check the pistons, install new rings, and check the crank. If that is all they have to do it may be pretty quick. So I need to get moving on this thing.

Yes, the engine will be Chevy orange.

The frame and other "hidden" parts will be a matt black, from MasterCoat.
