Without it becoming a burden, the more you can explain on why you are doing something (that might not be readily apparent to a non-engine builder) the better. I find the subtle "tricks of the trade" to be the most interesting part of a build.

Ok....I'll try.

In the photos above, I have the block positioned on the floor. That makes it much easier to take pictures of it, than to hold it and try to take selfies with it.

I think that is a good suggestion. Seems others don't

Looking forward to seeing the build progress. Brent does excellent work. Is it a 5 but or 6 bolt block? I know that 1965 was the year that the 289's transitioned from 5 bolt to 6 bolt for the bell housing.

I can always post a video of Ellie and me treating the leather seats. That'll fix their wagon.
