I will post some photos of the longblock build so you can follow along.
Here's the block before cleaning. Looks really bad but...
A little prep work, chem. treatment, line-bore, open for Porsche 80mm cyls., drill / tap all oil galleys
for 100% cleaning and for Gene Berg 36hp "full flow" and she looks way better!

Started pre fitting sheet metal, making up all fuel lines and mocking everything up for final fitment before powder coat.
