3.7 install update...
...got the shortblock back from the machinist on Wedneday. Looks good. Overbore went well. Balanced to the flywheel and pressureplate.
Car's stripped in Martin's garage - we are currently dressing the new block prepping for installation. Big mess. Thank goodness for the new workbench finished on day earlier. A board member gets big kudos for shipping us a special tool needed (you know who you are! THANK YOU!!).
A few local folks have stopped by to check out progress and help.
Small setback last night as Martin took one for the team when the pressure plate slipped and sliced a big hole in his left thumb. He's going to be hobbled for a bit...
With a little luck, should fire it up on Saturday. Pictures when we get a few minutes.
