Got the block and head ready for the machine shop. Everything looks great so just a clean will be in order.

Great thing happened today. My bc272 cams had a little nick in the cam. They are brand new and Brian crower is making it right by sending me another cam. I could have ran the cam as is but if they are sending me a new one why not.

Still a few parts I would need to order to rebuild the motor. I wasn't planning on doing a full rebuild on it. On a brighter note I will try to install clutch pedal tomorrow and hopefully install the motor within the next week or two. I went with a cast manifold with a bw s366. I order all the powder coating materials to try to powder the intake and other little things.

Awesome progress! We are in a very similar boat right now. Aside from the fact that you're a baller and are ordering things way faster than I am! :lol:

And thanks for the offer on the cams. I have my stock ones still, just deciding if I want to drop the cash on a set of Tomei Poncams or not.

Hopefully I have some time to put my motor together this weekend. I need to do a garage sale. I have way too many parts laying around. Turbo finally came in today. It's finally coming together again. Lol
