And so it starts... 340 build

Well, I’d thought I’d post up a thread on some garbage I have. This is an engine refreshing. Hone the cylinders and reinstall the slugs it cams with and I was lucky enough to not need to rebore the engines cylinders. Dated 9-30-71.
This is a no rush build that will be finished when it is finished.

Now, not having started at this level of a entirely bare block, where do these go? Side of the block IIRC. Normally this is a small potato job along with freeze/frost plugs I have the machinist do for a small fee which accelerated the home build.

Plenty of material. I’m sure I’ll have extras....
