Default Machine shop called today.

Woo-hoo!! :cheers: :cheers: My 454 block is ready for me to pick up. My concerns were the block being cracked and the condition of the cylinders. Everything is good to go!

I'll pick it up on Monday. :D :D

Fevre--It'll be a while till my SB bites the dust. The time table I'm working with puts the actual swap sometime Feb-March 2003! :eek: :eek:

I'll take my time and try to get it right the first time. :lol:
No, I don't have an LT-1. I have a NOM 350-350 which is an L-46.
