Been a while

Been a while since I have been here. Project is still alive and well. Been hung up with various life issues. Hopefully I will have an actual shop in the not to far future. I know I have been saying that for years but the actual building is finally there but needs a lot of renovation. Working out a few last details on the engine such as what bore to use and wrist pin weights. Custom piston manufacturer will make pistons around 5.6 wrist pins which makes this so much more feasible. I have a lot of 5.6 pins but not 8 of the same weight. I have at least 2 different weights. I'm thinking I can have the pins weight matched when I have the engine balanced.
