OK, I have arranged to get a new rebuilt head for the old block (since I have not found out what went boom in the last engine). Also, having the old block decked and trued.

While I am changing the motor, I'll get new front bearings pressed in.

Still working on upgrading the suspension, but that looks like it will take place later in the year (based on parts availability).

And down the road will be the carb swap and exhaust system rebuild.

We'll keep updating this thread as we go along.
