Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Like a rock! Down & dirty dually.

You've seen this phase many times on various projects, but here it is on mine. At least I can show a little progress. Actually, I'm a day farther along than this pic. The rear end is out and being cleaned, resealed, re-braked, and repainted. The frame has been excised of about 80% of the child-proof rivets. At least enough are gone to cut out the notches. It's getting a Stage II trailing arm package so it can keep the load floor. I'd drop it to the ground, but this truck has to work.

It was encouraging that most of the bolts came loose pretty easily. The frame was still clean enough that the chalk marks were intact on the rear crossmember!
