This morning, before lunch, and taking the rest of the day off to relax a little on a beautiful NE Ohio day (do some yard work and maybe go out to Quaker City Dragstrip) I machined the back of the block and bolted on a flywheel housing. Looks pretty good. Aside from an oil pan, it is sitting in my Seiki with everything bolted on all the way around. I have the special-made fixture pieces in house now and can finish up the 2 fixtures those go to, which will allow me to turn the block over and finish up the bottom.

I didn't take more pics because when I went to take the first one the batteries were dead. So I said, "good place to stop," and came home. I hope everyone has a good holiday weekend and thanks to all you veterans, alive and passed on!
