I picked up my block on Monday. It looks great, a very nice piece. They really put alot of thought into it.

So... around 60-65#s heavier than an OEM 440 passenger car block?

Nice! (Yes, the pics showed up)

What's left to do machining-wise before it should be ready to start assembly?

I'm not totally sure, but definitely bored to 4.35", maybe a line hone, and deck for flatness. Dropping it off tomorrow.

with the oil galley being flush with the front cam journal can you get the pipe plug all the way in flush with the threads so as not to interfere with the timing chain? or does it use a different kind of plug.

That block looks plenty beefy! I'll have to get my hands on one someday for a killer build.
