Larry,
The level of "Blueprinting" in this engine is nothing short of amazing. I hope it brings you the FS/D class Wally once again.

Mr Vic stuff is Bullet fast and the car is a work of art. To have a chance I’ll need everything I can get. And if I try to go to Super Stock that Patterson young man is way fast. Both Chevys run killer MPH.

Got some tooling finished today, will finish one in the morning. Patsy is on her sister trip so my list of honey do?s is real short this weekend. I should get a lot accomplished.

Best laid plans of men and mice. Long story short it blew up in my face. Maybe a 50% weekend

Two out of the three gears still had portions of the ID still black in color and fit looser on the crank. I do have one that cleaned up on the ID and is a good sliding fit on the crankshaft. I don't know if that could be a potential problem at 150 Hertz, but just trying to keep everything straight and round.

I don't actually know the legal answer to the question (but it may be worth the asking of the proper tech person), but...can you legally overbore the ID and press fit a brass bushing to correct the ID of the hole for correct centering and true up of those cam/crank gear sets?
