The offset bushing kit came in from S&S Engineering which includes the bushings, rotor spacers, 10.9 bolts, and roll pin and drill bit. This is a well thought out kit in my eyes, and should make the installation process a lot easier.
I also heard back from the Machine Shop that they should have the block ready for pickup Monday or Tuesday. It just took a little longer as they thought they had a sleeve in stock and didnt so needed to order one they said. I can then drop the crank and 2 rod/pistons to check the clearance of the rod bolts to make sure they don't hit. I hear back and forth that it will need clearance or not with a 331, but thought it would be best to just check and take it back to them. They can then final hone it to the correct piston to side wall clearance, hot tank, install cam bearings and freeze plugs.
