Well slowly but surely ..... Takes two things I've figured out ... Time and money... A lot of both.... lol

Well here is a little update for everyone... I went to the machine shop today to pick up my block and crank .... That was a wasted trip... It's not ready yet... " I should have called first..." Lesson learned.... I did get to pick up my Dad's crank " The one I had turned .010 mains and rods..." So that was good.... Oh well maybe it will be ready Monday or Tuesday ....

Well time for an update .... Went to the machine shop 4 times in the last 2 weeks got lied to every single time ... "About how this or that was being done ..." so I decided to look at it for myself.... Me and the shop owner walk in the back ... "While walking back he is telling me how he had to go a little more than .030 over and how he wanted to hone it a little more..." We get to where they bore the blocks and I start looking for my block and don't see it .... The shop owner says here it is and points to a block... So I look and it's not my block... at all it's a 2 bolt 305.... I'm looking still and I see mine with a tag of someone else name on it.... I start to get crazy on them.... Needless to say they hadn't done anything at all to my block... I told them to just load it up....... I called another smaller shop the guy did it cheaper and faster I got it back in 2 days
