This project has been moving slower than expected/planned. Between all the NV4500 fit up issues, and now realizing the mainshaft is smoked requiring a full rebuild, we have gotten very discouraged.
The other issue has been time... my brother and I don't have much to spare, let alone spare time that lands at the same time. Soooo, this project is going to move a lot slower than expected, but the goal is still to have it running this summer.
There has been some positive movement thought. Chad pressure washed and wiped the engine down with acetone, then got a fresh coat of Chevy orange on the block. We set the intake in place for some positive reinforcement.
