I don't have an explanation on the trans info.... other than mistakes were made.

Great car and great story. Looking forward to progress reports.

BTW, I read you father's obit. Sounds like a great guy who always put others first. Some similarities to my own father. Dad never finished HS, not because he was a slacker, but because he was the oldest child of a wife beating drunkard. Dad quit school to go to work and put food on the table for the family.

This country was built on the blood sweat and tears of guys like our dads. What a HUGE debt we owe them.

Short Block complete. Had to go to 30 over. "DO NOT SURFACE" Tag made and installed by Charles Clifton... Hubleyman. Good idea eh. Charlie did the oversee at the machine shop that built the motor. As he has had about 15 or 20 engines built there...Heads are complete and ready for install.
Nostalgia 30/ 30 cam. New 11 to1 pistons. Reconditioned rods. Crank 10/10 and balanced.

Some of that is just excess off the nozzle.

When finished, instead of wiping the nozzle off with a towel, or on their apron, they just wipe the remains off on the cowl before moving to the next job.
