LSP,
No, I don't recall working on any blocks. I'm not sure a Bridgeport was big enough to sleeve a block. Lots of head work: guides, seats, decks, Holley carb or two, intake manifolds, and even recut Hemi chambers that Jim Razor welded up after some engine failures with a big form cutter that Bob had from his days at Chrysler. Bob's father came to work there somewhere along the time I was there. He was probably in his 80's at the time and had some great stories from machining huge steel mill rolls. It was a fun place to work for a while, when I was between aerospace jobs. But I needed to move on. Bob just couldn't pay much and I was starting to look elsewhere. I ended up at Rockwell working structural machining in El Segundo on the B-1A and Space Shuttle.
