No problem PAJ. Been pretty busy at work myself, so I know how it gets. I made some room in my garage to work in. Still need to organize my tools, but it looks better than it did the last time you stopped over. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I may tear into it again tonight and at least get the radiator and accessories off of the front of the engine and start peeling the wiring back from it to get it ready to pull. Then maybe we can get together at some point this weekend and pull the engine out. I stopped by that machine shop you told me about. No one came out from the shop, but it looks like they only do head work, and brake rotors and such. I stopped by the other shop in Mesa and they want $1100 to do the machine work, but they don't do the assembly <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />. So my search continues either for a machine shop that will do the assembly, or for a good condition short block from a yard somewhere.
