I'll post another full progress report soon, but I
picked up the block last week and it had been honed
and the deck had been milled/planed a few thousands to
make it flat.  The shop owner didn't tell me how much
but said that it DID need it and the amount would
cause a problem with pushrod length etc.  This shop
frequently sees older engines and they know what they
are looking at.  I took a 196 head in a few weeks ago
to check for cracks before selling it and they knew
what it was.  I took the most recent head in this
week.  The shop owner was finishing the installation
of a 312 into a 59 Ford.  A few months ago there was a
huge crank and block from a 39 LaSalle waiting for
machining.
