Picking Up My Block And Crank: UP Date

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

Glad to see you back here Mike. Whatcha building?

Just a spare engine for my Rampage.. this one is a 396ci with a solid flat tappet... nothing fancy
EDIT
just a bunch of spare parts I had

Where did ya go for machine work Mike?

A guy that lives about a mile from me.. his name is Ed.. was a M1 machinist.. but now he just does it from his shop

What do you do with the Rampage?
Love these little small block engines

I originally built it for drag week but then I had health issues so now its just my street rod

Do you get out with it much? Love the M/T pro 5 wheels

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

I drive it alot during the summer months around here

I doubt it...I was on 4 of them... thats enough.. I might try the drag week here in Mich

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

Hey P! Did you ever get your W5 issues behind you? Guess I lost my scorecard

Yes I did,,, thats what is going on this engine

Picked it up the other day.. things look good now.. crank is straight.. I have the mains in it now and
put in #1 piston so now I can degree it in it spins nice now

Happy to hear your in the shop gittin it done!

I can work out there for a couple of hours at a time

Well I got it all back together but now I need to order up some push rods when Mich lifts the
lock down... till then I wait.. but I'm sure I can do something on my Rampage

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

Dont know yet,, I'll measure tomorrow.. I know none of my other ones fit
