I have the blazer in the shop and the pellet stove running good, so I might actually make some decent progress this winter. I bought a 400 SBC to rebuild today, and already started stripping it down. Good thing I was already planning on replacing the crank as part of an internally balanced package. This #2 rod journal is so wasted that the piston skirt was grinding the counterweights at BDC. The guy I bought the engine from also has some brand new patriot 2180 heads he bought to put on this engine before he abandoned the project. I'm still calculating stuff, but I might just pick those up instead of trying to find something else that might work better.
