Do you mean you'd put a funky inline under the hood of a 787b or the R26b from the 787 in Cambria?

The blower is now welded up, and ready to be re-machined. Now, to have Doug help me convince John M. to do the work.

Word bird! That's awesome. Just have Doug use his special East Coast charms on John. . .
Also, I'll extend the same offer to John as to anyone doing substantial and/or skilled work. If he can drive a potential 10second car and donates "value in kind" to the project, he can drive it when complete. (Yes, Ron, it will be completed  )

Doug, Glen, and TimAT all looked at it tonight. We all agree the work is exquisite, and believe it will live again. I'll bring it by Nicks tomarrow.

Can't wait.  Wonder if I took pictures of the damn thing before he fixed her up.

Today we pressed out the shaft from the snout and began some machining of the snout and bearing plate. The shaft itself was fine but discovered that the axle the shaft spins on was bent like a mofo. (Holy Crap Joe). So they'll have to make a new one from scratch. Also the plate was not even close to flat so they had to machine it down about 1/16th in total. That we can make up with a shim and an extra gasket, if it turns out there isn't enough clearance between the plate and gears.
But all in all, it looks like it's going to work. The shop is very busy, so my cousin will work it in on the side as he can. Maybe a couple weeks.

Dropped off the pistons (w/ rods attached), crank, balancer, and flywheel. The pistons need to be cut for the larger valves in the new heads and the whole assembly needs to be balanced after the cutting.
Danger Will Robinson. Troy from FPS sort of grimaced when I showed him the pistons. They're press-on and he warned that no matter how careful they are, occasionally one cracks when separating the rod.
