Progress Thread Block transplant (and more)

[AeroCoupe]

I run the Ford Motorsport pilot bearing on both my cars. Keep a spare in the cabinets along with a spare RAM throw out bearing because why not.

If my recollection of a torque wrench older than me is from this thread (regardless of type) have it checked, calibrated, or thrown in the garbage.

If not, please disregard.

I just dropped off the new block along with new cam bearings and my existing rotating assembly at Bob Weaver Racing in York PA. Bob checked everything out and blessed my plan of transferring my assembly to the new block. He’s going to finish hone, true the decks and put the cam bearings in. Not only did he not BS me, he taught me a few things I didn’t know.

Well worth the trip from Annapolis MD! I’m stoked!

If you do not mind and if Mr Weaver does not mind can you give us a ball park idea as to the cost when he is done? I am looking at the same thing and would like to do it over the winter but do not want to pull the working motor if I do not have the coin to do the work.

I’ll run it by him when I pick the block up. He’s a really nice man and I don’t think he’ll mind but it’s always nice to ask first. I took an annual leave day Dec 3 for the drive to pick up. He said he’ll probably be done before that as he’s wanted to clear the slate because it won’t be long before the racers will be dropping off their winter projects.
