3rd try for an engine case.

DING-DING-DING-DING

We have a winner! I bolted the case halves together (with good thru-bolts this time) and the saddles are straight, the thrust surface is good, and no "syndrome".

Guy almost scamed me on the shipping. He said it would go via UPS Ground for $52.00 . When it arrived, it had a FedEx label on the sorry box he shipped it in. Actual shipping charge was $25.21, and I brought this to the seller's attention. He said he will send a check for reimbursement .

Sent it out this evening (Tues, 16). It wouldn't fit in the corner mailbox so I sent it FedEx. Should be there Friday or Monday.

Yetibone !!

Don,t forget to check the oil pump surface and the stump surface before you get it all together I haven't forgot my ordeal with to the oil leaks I had on my engine, It wouldn't hurt to double check the cam plug surface also.

Im sure you know , But It dont hurt to remind . (talk is cheap)

Thanks for the thought Blue. I bolted the halves together, and straight-edged the pump surface after removing the rest of the oxydation from the case, and running it thru a Cuda wash cabinet.

I still have lots of time to make it right before putting it together. My cylinders are out being re-sized for the pistons, heads are being ported, and big valved, the car it's going in is STILL down in the woods under a tarp, and my garage is full of moving boxes, and furniture .

I anticipated this being a summer project, but with all that has hapened to me since February, it looks like this will be next winter's project
