Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Started with this at 10:00 this morning.

It's a 3970010 block that was handed off to me by a great friend and Forum Member.

On my first unpracticed eye inspection, the block looks great. I'll get it hot tanked, measured
up, and m-fluxed as the first steps. Thanks again, Tom.

She's down to a bare block now. Yup, 4.0 bore.

The crank rod journals are almost funny. About four of the bearings looked like they have been
spun like race horses.

But, what the heck? The crank was probably going bye-bye, anyway. NBow, it's surely, "383 here I come".
It's just all so damned much money.....

I'll post the cleaned up pics and maybe a couple of rod journal pics as
soon as I can get *myself* cleaned up.
