Update; Block is being welded. The cracks aren't structural or into water. The #3 cylinder is getting sleeved. Machine work; bore to 4.530" (due to ring size availability) deck, line hone, valve job, skim cut heads, balance. New parts; crank and rods (Molnar), pistons (Ross), rings, bearings (Clevite), oil pump (Melling), valves (Ferrea), valve locks and springs (Pac), dampner (ATI). The cam, valve train all survived well. Pan has been straightened out and is ready to weld. The Fluidampner was cracked and leaking. All the reusable parts are cleaned and stored. Biggest holdup is pistons, 6-7 weeks. I was going to paint the outside of my house and shop this Summer. So soon I'll be at it. Hope to get the hood painted and some touch up as well while I'm waiting. Fortunately I've been hustling jobs out of the garage for the last couple of years to establish a fund to support my race habit. The fund just got smaller.
