The "Black Menace" is pretty forlorn, LOL

Slow. I've had side issues (unrelated). "Just got done" today yardin' out the little shed so I have room to wiggle, and work on the engine. I hope, about Tues, to start putting the engine together. that alone will be slow, as I had to grind the pushrod holes on the 340 heads for the pushrod angle on the roller LA block. So I'll have to test fit those, and make at least one pair of shortened pushrods to check with.

Then, re--install the valve springs on both heads, and get 'em on there. This is a new short block I picked up, 360 roller. I have a re-ground cam from Oregon grinders, and have to get that in there.

My arthritis, and energy, is way way down. Seems to take me forever to get things done

I have to "get out of bed" about 4 - 5 times a day. Everytime I sit down for a rest, getting back up is a painful exercise. If I wasn't so damn stubborn, I'd chuck the whole thing LOL
