A bit more progress......

4 steps forward, 1 step back

Adapter fits

Engine mount bracket design needs slight trimming

HTOB dimensions measures

Starter adapter plate needs some work as the LS4 block has some areas around the crank that were not shown on the LS3 block CAD model

So after 35 years finally replaced the brushes. It's a Craftsman Industrial (DeWalt)

The guys put new labels on it

you can not. it lasted at least 3 dozen car restorations and 4 boat restorations, some concrete grinding, and some really sketchy cut-off work while on a ladder 25 ft in the air.

I bought 2 sets of brushes. should outlast me.

I've been doing hardwood flooring (again). I did a bunch last year, now onto some more. This is wide-plank maple going into the bedrooms of the summer house. 2 down, 2 to go . . .

Have ya done any more with the fiat, just wondering how much time I need to allocate in order to see the finished product.
