Finally have an update!

I found some time to work on the motor this week. I got the correct piston ring and was able to finish the short block. I am hoping to be able to fab the cross member for the tranny and the center link for the engine. I am also hoping that my buddy can finish port and polishing my heads next week. Once I have the heads, it should only take a weekend to finish this project. Enjoy, here are some pictures...
