Got the engine block & associated sheetmetal back from the blaster yesterday afternoon. Looks like I'm going to need a new ID plate for the flywheels shroud; it was bad before & the blasting looks to have maybe finished it off. After a good cleaning this weekend, it's off to the machine shop to take care of the rest. Hopefully while the motor is out at the shop I'll be able to get the main clutch fixed (or at least started on) and finish working on the hyd. lift. Have a good weekend everyone.
