So, I'm ambitious to say the least. I'm rebuilding this cherry little 272, and I started grinding some of the casting lines. Then some of the of the engine numbers. Then I thought, I could smooth out some corners. And now, hours later I'm still grinding and polishing my Y block, and am thinking I'm crazy!?



I love the idea of what it will look like when it's done, but I should be checked into the state hospital for this.
