Jalopy,
Not sure on a date yet. Just yesterday( Fri) the block was hot tanked and magnafluxed. That all looks good. Preliminary checks indicate a .040 overbore. Block will be decked and bored next week, then order the pistons. Crank will need to be turned and balanced. The dyno has a Pontiac on it now. The operator was teasing me and said when running the Pontiac, the dyno popped up a message stating to test only 1 inline 6 at a time as the torq reading was too high. The Pont is a big cube sucker and was pegging the tq beyond the 500 ft pd mark closer to 600 ft pnds.
The lower end should go together relatively fast. The top end stuff is still ready from the 292 tests. Still aiming for later feb. Anyone interested in coming here to help? I know my local club will. Maybe some of you guy's could come too. Tom
