And then I spun a bearing and rebuilt it ...
picked up an old block from a guy on the forums who seemed high like a G6
thanks again man

cleaned it up, honed and decked it
new bearings and pistons
polished crankshaft
attempted to polish the head but it didn't seem worth it
new gaskets and all for a fresh motor

Nice striping on the covers; haven't seen that before. I was also intrigued by your fabric for the interior panels and shift boot. I may have had an old scarf that looked exactly like them! Is this the style nowadays? To use old scarfs for panels?

Just made some brackets for the coilpack and extended the wires.
Also made a bracket for the throttle cable for a direct connect to the tb
