I had to take the block back to Winger’s Machine Shop to get the holes bored and tapped for the roller lifter keeper “spider.” I’m loving this!

I’m still waiting on the head bolts and engine fastener kit, but I was able to get the crank, cam, lifters, and pistons stuffed in there and torqued down. Gotta love shiny Keith Black 9.5:1 flat-tops.

Here’s the other side – huge difference from the pictures I took after I pulled it out… as in, “this is the same engine that came out of the Rustang shortly after I bought it.”
