Yeah, I wanted it to be kind of her 'debut' it's just a small show that's being held at my school hosted by some local car club. I thought it would be a good step in the direction to get warmed up to enter in bigger shows maybe, like the GM Nationals next year.

Well, there was a little bit of a mishap last night. Broke a piston ring. The universal piston compressor did not work all that great. So I had to order a new set of rings just for one cylinder. The rest of them Case managed to get in carefully. The crank, cam, and timing set are all installed along with the 5 pistons now. More work is being done tonight. Engine should be dropped in Saturday.

I'll upload them tomorrow. I left my camera at Case's so he could take pics of his progress after I left and then take pics tonight of whatever gets done.

This was Case's idea for getting the rear main in. Used an old 350 piston.
