Well, I got my 351W, fresh from it's bore, deck and bearing job (not to mention the clean-up from hell, that thing was a mess!) So, I'm going to try and get the 289 out today (it may not happen, i have some homework to take care of an my back deck needs to get finished.) I need to do this before I can even put the 408 together: i need the flywheel out to get it all balanced. The machine shop painted the black a nice silver color (it is high heat paint, won't be coming off.) Wish me luck.
