No sir. I just got another crank tonight, and the other two piston rods. So hopefully all that will work out!

So, you're gonna have enough spare parts for two extra engines to sell on Ebay, by the time you're done?

I did yesterday. I was going to go to one in North Branch, but the guy said he won't do any cleaning to it. So I called around and there is one in Forest Lake. But the machinist doesn't get back until Monday! I'm getting a little impatient about it. But one of the guys at the shop in Forest Lake says they do hat tank and the whole 9 yards. So I'm happy about that. But if worse comes to worse I go down to White Bear/Vandis Heights and have Jeff (Original guy) do it all.

I know, Hey I mentioned in the first post that this will be a slow build. But now that I do have the money to get get some progress done I can't. It's a little irritating.

Does anyone know if I can do a core swap for a crank at like a Napa or anything?

EDIT::: My friend says he has a Turbo 350 Trans sitting in his shed at his parents house. He said I can have it as long as I pay him to rebuild it! So I got the transmission covered!

Re: ~Project~ Trickity Tree Fiddy

They come in 6, 9, and 12 inch tailshafts. 9 is what you want.

I was looking at the pics you have....the block with all the chips...is it the one you plan on using for this build? Personally, I wouldn't trust something with that many imperfections.

Oh, and what the hell happened to the crank to get the bolt hole crooked like that?
