You need to get another block for sure and start the mock up. That will keep you busy and then the wait will be perfect timing for the real engine. Mine is machined ready to assemble, having the extra block made the wait no big deal!
Ok,
I am goin to pick up the old cracked 383 for mock-up in the morning. My K-frame, upper control-arms and spindles are goin to the media blasters too.
