And do I appreciate the comments and help.

Not sure how long till it runs, lots left to do. Still need to mock it up to determine deck height for compression. Head still needs valves and guides then proper springs and run on the flow bench. Need custom pushrods, have to get the pan, oil pump, damper and flywheel from my old 248 in the farm. Need to drill the crank and flywheel for 4 additional bolts. Balance the rotating assembly. Drill the block for full filter oiling and bend up 1/2 tubing and mount a filter housing.
Rebuild the pair of Stromberg BXOV-2s, build linkage, plumb the fuel system and block oiling system. Still stuck on what belt system to use. Not sure if I should go to 3/8 or stay with what I have.
