Bone what will it weigh when you put the motor, trans and incidentals back in?
How is the progress? __________________
About 100 pounds more than before the install.
Just waiting on the Crank, Pistons and Rods to be balanced. Since it is a V10, the balancer needed another bolt (5 bolts) for the crank, so he had to order one. Something I didn't anticipate. I had two contacts in town that said they could do it. One backed out after thinking about the V10 for awhile. Another is an old man who has been doing this for some 35 years or so (WAG) and said no problem. He's my man!
In the mean time, I have completed all of my wiring, cleaning, dressing up the interior (gauges in panels) and am off in a few minutes to have my heads port matched and polished. The machine shop is tied up for a few weeks for porting. May wait until later to have the valve openings machined for true porting.
So I am in the waiting mode right now.
Told
eddie102870 that he can come on over and do his cam while I am waiting. Then as you know, someone is coming down in two weeks for Cam/Heads/NOS/Gauges install.
