I took a chance and brought the flywheel to have resurfaced to see what happened. It came out perfect, and he didn't have to take that much off. Thanks for your help! Today I also installed the harmonic balancer, fuel pump and primed the oil pump. I got about 50lbs at the gauge (it was still going up but my drill was smoking, so I stopped), so I'm happy. Next, I need to install the intake, flywheel & clutch. So far, so good

I've had engines built for me but by far the most rewarding experience has been building a couple of mild 440's myself. It's like giving birth for us males!

it may just be the picture, but it really looks like there is a hole in the header where you massaged it for the power steering pump?
You're right, it does but that's just a tack weld where the id plate was welded. I had to remove it to heat the area to dimple it. I was just lazy and didn't grind them off ;-). Thanks.
