273 - In Progress

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As you all know I've been working on getting 273 ready for rebuild.

This last week, I got word from the machine shop that block had to be 
bored .030, Crank Rod Journals .030, and Main Journals polished to .010.

This meant I needed to order pistons.  I ordered Egge L2222 .030 
pistons.  They are the 10.5:1 pistons.  They had them on the shelf.  
When I called them on Thursday afternoon, he said, probably arrive on 
Tuesday.  They arrived yesterday shortly before 1:00PM.  I was very 
surpised and happy.

I took the pistons to the shop so they can start balancing.  Still need 
to pick up a set of Rings.

Cam/lifters should arrive sometime this upcoming week.

I took Pictures of current state.  They are posted on the A-Bodies only 
forum on this page ->

I cant wait until all the work is done.  Heads and Balancing are next.  
Then I will be able to take it all home and start putting it together.
