Default Engine Block(400) Update!

Well I took the block to the machine shop the other week to get it magnafluxed. Corky called me today. The block checked out good! So now its time to start with the buildup. Not sure how long it will take to get it together. There are a lot of items I need to purchase. Probably the biggest hurdle has been overcome though! :cheers:

Hey Ski, I just got a call from my shop too!! Block is all done and ready to assemble..........woooooo hooooooo :cheers:

I won't start putting mine together for a couple months though, so you'll probably be done way before I am. It's all good though, that way if you make a mistake you can save me :lol: :lol:

Good luck!!!!!!!
