Reply to "New Heavy Duty 351C Block, by Tod Buttermore"

PROGRESS REPORT

Quoting the Cleveland Forum

"I have machined the bottom end of the sample block and am very pleased with the part so far. I am making very slow progress due to several hinderances. At the pattern shop, not only did a massive amount of work come in to interupt my time on the block project, but their CNC controller went down after a storm and I had to pull the whole CPU box to ship it for repairs. It first started acting up while I was cutting waterjacket core boxes. Then it went down completely while I was cutting something for them. Moving has slowed me down quite a bit. And now it looks like I have a shot at a project manager's position at a very prestigious aluminum foundry. They just lost their man and were recommended by my machine shop owner friend to call me. We talk on Tuesday. It's an hour away but the money and work seem to make the decision for me. I may have to pass off all machining to my friend's shop.

On other notes, Pro-gram Engineering has offered a deal to be the main-cap supplier for all blocks...Tod"
