I was sitting here grinding away on some exhaust ports and I figured I would give my local machine shop a call to see how things are going. Glad I did as they are slow, like in closing at 3:30 one guy in the shop slow. Not a big shop to start with they laid off one guy and I’m not sure about their crank grinder as he was a retired guy that would come in when needed to do cranks only. I’m still waiting for my income tax check (9 plus weeks) and my stimulus check but I have some 440-1 heads I ported that are flowing very good but I have some bigger 2.250 intake valves I would like to try. Hell this may even get me motivated to build the 505 mega block build I have on a stand. So next week I will drop those off and my set of Speedmaster heads to have them opened up for 2.05 valves. I may go ahead and drop off a stock 360 crank to have polished and balanced for a .030 (360) block I have sitting here. He thanked me about three times for checking on them.
