The engine is really looking nice!
looking very nice
The bore for the drive hub was press fit the whole way, so I took .0015 off it to help line it up with the keyway.

I also dropped the pan and ordered a new cast alum finned 'T' pan. When I pulled the intake to do some finish machining, I dropped a washer right down an intake port and into a cylinder...

nice work, the engine looks really nice. That stinks about the washer. At least you knew and ripped it apart instead of forgetting and waiting. :LOL:
Who's distributor?
Its Mallory #3755801.
Heads back on and oil pan arrived today...

Looks very nice. That looks like a stout pan. At least they cast in relief areas so you can access the bolt holes easier.
The darn thing weighs about as much as a bare alum cylinder head! It is stout!!
Just ordering a oil pan stud set...
Started front engine plate design tonight
