Rebuilding Numbers Matching 383
Great day in Texas. Beautiful day to get started.
Got my block on the stand, washed it up real good and ran a tap through all the bolt holes. Ensured all machine shavings were blown out of the various orifices.
It is supposed to get cold tomorrow so I wanted to get it cleaned up today while it was 70 degrees.
Machinist had to deck the block slightly to clean it up. I had him machine it such that the original stamping was left intact.
Looking forward to assembling.
