Sweet tow rig!! It'll be hard to miss that on the Salt. After missing Speedweek, we're headed down from Montana with The Fast Four Special....

After a brief stop at Speedweek, Mike and his wife drove to LA where everything got loaded into a container. Here Mike is showing another Aussie (Crazy Ed) his load of booty.

After cutting the seats, valves are numbered and hand lapped into their individual seats. The darker grey on the valves and seats shows that they are totally sealing all the way around.

Trial assembly to determine the pistons' positions at TDC. These were all about 0.035" below deck. With a standard gasket that would yield a quench distance of nearly 0.100"! That would make a very lazy, detonation prone motor. Going to need to remove quite a bit from the deck to remedy this.

These engines didn't have full flow oil filtering (some didn't have any oil filtering at all). The added holes in the oil pump boss will route oil directly from the pump to a remote oil filter, and then back into the block.

Flywheel cleaned, new starter gear installed, and clutch surface ground. The entire rotating assembly gets weight matched and balanced next.

After a bit of light honing (bright area in main bore) it is apparent how badly this block needed line honing (dark area of bore hasn't even touched yet).

Line honing the block. Flathead Chryslers are prone to main bearing problems so this operation is especially critical in these engines. This particular block really needed it.

Head milled down to 79.8cc (8:1 compression). Chambers have been lightly polished to help prevent detonation. I levied for higher compression (more power and better efficiency!), but apparently the fuel in Australia is pretty bad so we settled on 8:1 for this street build.

CC'ing the head before milling to determine how much needs to be removed. Chambers were 91cc +/- a bit.
