I just read several pages here, and wish I had been following this sooner. Don't know who you used for your machining, but G & G Performance just past Mueschke and 2920 is good. Chris is one of the brothers that used to own Wycliff Engines. Chris really knows his stuff. His partener is Joe. Joe used to work for Bill Staley, just before Staley met the time clock concrete pole at approx 180 mph. If you need ceramic, teflon, etc coatings... Polymer Dynamics Inc/PolyDyn has a really nice shop over off Jones and 1960, and they do it all. I believe they were one of the 1st few to start doing coatings.
Would love to check out your build the next time I'm out your way. You ever go to the Nifty-Fifties carshow off 249 and Spring-Cypress? Actually on the corner of Spring-Cypress and Champion Forest. I see some really nice Mopars out there. Suprises me how many Hemi's go there.

Yep! G&G did all my machine work on the block . Took a while but there was some miscommunication on who was building the engine and no written R.O.. I do know about PolyDyn. I also have used Tomball powdercoating off of Alice rd. I know Randy well, he runs the Nifty Fifties street meet. My good friend Joe Keen frequents the meet. He has several Nice Mopars. Yellow Blown 72 Cuda, 63 Maxwedge clone, 63 Fury vert. among a few others. Used to go alot to the old Hop location on Kuykendahl with my 67 notch and 87 Prostreet Ram.
Out here with the watermelons there are a bunch of Mopars in barns and under trees. Old people tell ya, O' I be gonna fix that up some day!! We all know they will end up rotting away! Just 2 miles from me is a 67 383 4spd GTX Vert, in the same field a Warlock truck and a nice Mirada. Old man died a few years back and left it all to his wife and daughter, same story. Gonna fix'm one day! B.S....O'well.

Will have to get together sometime. I haven't made any progress due to the horrible heat but looks like it may start cooling off soon.
