Got the completed piece back from the welding shop yesterday evening. I spent about an hour this morning cleaning up a few welds, but all in all it looks like it'll work well.
Tomorrow, I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and the big monthly grocery run to make. After that, I plan to drill and tap the holes I had welded up for studs to hold the SBC cover. Maybe a little more sanding and a good coat of wrinkle finish black paint and I'm another step toward getting it all together.
A partner dropped off a ring gap file for me to use. Mine took a hike when the trailer we used to haul the race cars was stolen several years ago!! Hard to believe that I haven't really built an engine for my self in going on twenty years!!
AND! Thanks again, Tom!!
