67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Hit the machine shop today to check progress and get an ETA. Block is out of the hot tank. " Two 327s ahead of you jimmy !! " is what I was told. He had 2 vintage corvette engines to machine, then ours. First vette motor is done, 327 #2 will be today and the beginning of next week. After that the teener. This is probably the cleanest this engine block has been since it was new 44 years ago lol. 1970 340 forged crank, eagle I beam rods, and KB 167s. Bottom end getting balanced. Mark is one of the best machinests around which is why he gets a lot of work. I dont mind waiting for him to get to it. This guy is meticulous with this stuff. He will not bore any block out until he has the pistons that will go in it. Everything gets a torque plate bore and hone job. When he machined my Chrysler 2.2 turbo engine, I rented a torque plate from one of the 2.2 engine builders for him to have.
