Just had to tell someone!
I'm picking up the engine from the machine shop tomorrow.
1- Boiled and cleaned.
2- Crack checked
3- New Freeze and oil plugs
4- New cam bearings
5- Decked to clean
6- Bored & Honed 0.20" over
7- Crank cleaned, polished and balanced.

You're going to have some fun aren't you? It's been quite a while since I assembled an engine, but it's fun to watch it come together and then fire it for the first time. What a rush when it all works.

The engines finished now to fit it in the body.

I'm envious - and I hope you're taking lots of pictures for us!

Heres a few to start.
