Only a few shakes of this money tree left. ;D ;D Who would have ever thought shop towels could be so costly. Luck of the draw I guess? Any way can't wait to get on the road again, again.

Spun a main bearing and I don't like to line bore a 8v92 so it's another block

That sure would have been nice JC. lots to do yet. We payed Universal Machine in Vegas to handle hot tanking the block and re-honing it and got burned by them, so as a result I spent the past two days doing it myself. With that done now all the fun cleaning will begin. Clifford has been an absolute Saint through this process and has had to divide his time to this with so much on his plate already, Assembly to follow.
