Exactly.

I have spent a few more evenings gathering, organizing, searching, ticking off boxes in my list of items needed for Dyno day.

The only show stopper right now is my starter, if anyone has an 1108348 1969 Oldsmobile V8-350 High Compression and V8-400 core to rebuild I would rather have a numbers starter rebuilt........ please look in your stashes.

More and more small items to find or buy, or get ready.

I bought a numbers starter core but it won’t be rebuilt and ready in time, so I bought a NAPA starter too (for sale soon 100 CAD)

Long fuel filter, dip stick, etc, etc.

The only show stopper now is flywheel bolts, the ones the engine builder ordered were flexplate.... he is swapping them for proper ones.

The heat is on!!!!

Picked up fuel filter, Clutch and flywheel Arp bolts, rotor, starter

Picked up Short pipes flanged for the exhaust manifolds for Dyno

Picked up my original alternator rebuilt/restored.

It’s all coming together.

I am really proud to be taking my W31 Olds to FJ Smith for break in and dyno tune.

Point of no return:-)

I have some loading to do tonight and then off to FJ’s first thing. Tomorrow is only delivery and preparations. I have to bolt on the accessories.

I picked up my Service Replacement W31 Block as well. I need to store it safe.

Did better than expected, got all the accessories sorted out.

They started the engine and completed the break in. Sounds awesome!!

First thing tomorrow, oil change, install inner valve springs and start to make some real noise.
