I'm gonna pick up my block and crank tomorrow.. I had to have some machine work done.. had to have
the crank straightened and have the rod caps cut.. he was gonna push in new cam bearings and clean
the block.. been sitting on this block for a number of years but finally found a use for it
EDIT
Was gonna pick it up a couple of months ago but I was down in Texas for the winter

You ever going to try drag week again? I might give it a shot it it was closer to the west coast.

Thanks Mike, was curious if it was a known shop in the area. Hard to find good machine shops now days.

What size do you need?
Plenty of high end small block pushrods here at the shop.
