The first machine work for this 440 build

Crank polished. My other forged crank will have to be turned. Luckily this one didn't need anything more.
The particular block that I will be using was cast on May, 18th. 1971. Based on the time in a 24 hour day, I'm 18 minutes younger than this block. Technically, it's possible this block was still cooling off the moment I was born.
The car I'll be using this in is a '67 Barracuda which is the same year my parents got married. I think it's a sign.
