The holes drilled in the cylinder bore is to stop the cracks from traveling ...

Took another cut ( .050" over stock bore now ) just to throw some cutting powder on the cracks in order to allow me to see the cracks more clearly ..

Those dang oil gallery plugs are a PITA to remove from the block ...
This tool works with a 1/2" impact gun ..
Should be easy work without the words that would make a Preacher blush !!

Whoa ....
Kind of jumped the gun ..
Had to cancel the order for this kickass tool ..
Being my SS check is late on getting here, didn't have enough green in my bank account to cover it ...

With Fedex shipping came to $65 ..
Has a lifetime warrantee, I liked that part ..
Went to my buddy's shop next-door to mine, he had a Taiwan kit that got the plugs out of the back of the block ...
They was 1/4" square, the plugs in the front was allen and put up a hell of a fight ...

That's one that finally came out ..
One more to go ...
Do hope it won't be as tough as this one was to get out ??
Nope, same gig as the first one ...
Drill and easyout ...
Now the oil passages can be cleaned with running a nylon brush though them ...

Been many a moon since I worked on a W Series Big Block ..
Buddy has a 61 Bubble Top Chevy with a 348ci in it ..
He's wanting to go though it and get it back to looking like new again ...
The car has really low miles on it, everything in the motor should still be at STD ..
Fixing to find out ..
Meanwhile ...
Got a bit more work done to the 454 ..
All the belts are on ..
Hoping they will stay on at 6 grand ??
Tracking looks great now .. Took a bit of work to make that happen ...
Also got around to fabricating a mount for the oil tube & stick ..
Got a good start on it ..
A little more welding and dressing in, be ready for paint ..

Fuel pump and line is next on the 'todo' list ..
Going to attempt to make up a hard line like how GM did it back in the day ..
Waiting for the pump to show up from Amazon ..
Got a few other parts that I'm also waiting for ..
These two items are mostly for dress ..
