Ed Roth had a 406 powered 55 Chevy.... I vote go for it! Dual quads sticking out of the hood, side pipes and keystone classics.

What's everyone using for a garage floor paint/epoxy? I'm looking to do something with my garage floor to help brighten up the space (40' x 40') and help cut down on the dust. Its an older floor from the 80's and it never stops creating dust. Just curious to see what you guys have had luck with in the past.

Well with a combo of the 125M and 146MX bearings I got what I was looking for. They're all .0028-003". Everything is torqued and the crank spins nice. As nice as its going to spin with BradPenn assembly oil, that stuff is sticky.

Everything is the same, other than the new bearings.  Even the time of year I'm assembling. My bore mic, 2-3" mic, crank, etc are all at the same temperature. The temp this time of year in my shop runs between 75-80 degrees. I ordered a set of 146MX bearings and I will see what I come up with.

Mic'ing the crank journals and using a bore mic to check the bores.

I'm located 25 min north of Syracuse, NY.

My cousin has decided she is going to sell off her old family farm and parked for approx 40 years behind the main barn was this... A  1952 F6 V8 Mercury flathead dump truck( missing the dump box but still has the hydraulics). 16,000# GVW, 4 speed, 2 speed rear 5.83/8.11 and PTO driven hydraulics. 

Her grandfather bought it new and it came out of the Buffalo, NY Ford plant. She said it's mine if I can get it before the junk man gets to it. A couple phone calls later to some very helpful friends that work for beer and food. Several hours later we had the ol' girl home.  My one buddy noticed the Allstate Reman tag so we checked the oil and it looked like it was just poured in. So we decided to put a breaker bar on the front and see if she turns. No hang ups or catches and spun nice. So in goes a battery and some fresh gas in the bowl of the Ford 94. Filed the points. Hit the key and cranked it over about a dozen times and the old flathead lit! I was impressed. Next step is working on the fuel supply and getting new tires for the front and replacing the split rims. I'd like to find a newer rim that will fit the bolt pattern. I've got a soft spot for these old big trucks.  Now if I can only get her to come off the '65 fastback Mustang 289 auto in the barn....
