. . . . Just got these sent to me from the machine shop. Literally. Engine has returned to their facility. Full closed deck completed. Yea baby.
I asked what was next in the process, and he replied with the following (in quotes).....
"I'm waiting for the pistons, so then I can hone the block and set my piston too wall clearance. Then resurface the engine block and align hone the mains with the arp studs".
Enjoy the car porn fella's. Exciting times on the horizon.

Briefly texted with machine shop owner yesterday, 09/05/19......
He said that he has disassembled the heads, and has begun the porting and polishing.
Currently waiting on pistons to arrive. Once they do, he'll be able to begin the remaining machine work on the block.
Also, I am going to have the valve covers and intake plenum PC'd this time around. Not sure about what else to do in the visual arena as pretty much everything else is mostly out of sight.
Also, my local mechanic pal / friend is still awaiting return call from trans vendor he sourced. If that doesn't pan out, I have two other's waiting in the wings for me to call.
Just thought to provide an update. Happy Friday and hope everyone enjoys their upcoming weekend.
Oh, btw, I also asked/prompted/nudged the machine shop owner to send more engine porn pics to follow along in the process. Told him I'd appreciate seeing them, as would all of you. Forgot to add that bit.

Mike,
When I had my my transmission problems (still do) I was considering this trans. I've read a few scattered articles and havent found anything negative but not enough positive.

Sent off my core TC to GH today and have ordered up his company's upgraded TC offering for our beloved SHO platform.
Spoke to machine shop owner today, who said he's "getting close" to sending parts off for the WPC Treatment. He asked where the new PTU was/is at?
Had to get on the horn w/mechanic pal, who told me FMC shipped him a new one that was sans the drain plug. He sent it back, and the correct one is now on it's way.
I told machine shop owner about this, and then I pestered him for more "porn pics". To which he chuckled and promised me he'll remember to take some, and to send them my way, for everyone's ogling edification.

Spoke directly with Dakota Bowman, in the tech dept. over @ Deatschwerks and confirmed the fitment of the following upgraded LPFP. Ordered same today.
https://www.deatschwerks.com/9-307-1026
Also hit up Matt @ Gearhead today, and learned that my pending order for their company's upgraded TC is in progress now. Hopefully shipping out by week's end.
Also, had my transmission palleted up, strapped down, and loaded up for freight delivery to a vendor in MI. for reworking/upgrading. Deposit placed and more details to follow as those develop.
Finally, also spoke to machine shop owner performing my motor rebuild, and asked on any progress since our last communication. He replied that he is currently working on the porting and polishing of the heads. Informed me that the couple of ports that he has touched, are now flowing 20cfm's greater than stock, throughout the entire range.
So given the factory design is already fairly decent to begin with, this improvement will enhance and contribute to overall performance. Just another piece of the puzzle.
Still waiting on porn pics. Hopefully soon!
