the block just got decked, bored, line honed, and honed tomorrow. also finishing up balancing her tomorrow too, got started, but was getting too late. after that, assembly begins for the short block. then doing a 4 angle valve job, bowl and port job, then port matching the intake as well.. gotta love working at a machine shop.

i took the GT40P heads, milled down the bosses, indicated the holes on the bridgeport and now i have 7/16 stud mount roller rocker arms! its really nice having free access to a bridgeport when needed..
