I finally got my block back today! What I had the machine shop do was steelabrate and magnaflux the block, sonic check the bores, add a tube in one of the oiling holes, align bore and hone the mains, and bore & hone & plateau finish the cylinders. Paid about $750 for all of that, not too bad. So I brought the block home and got it up on my engine stand. Getting it on the engine stand was relatively easy. I found a table that was almost a perfect match for the height the engine needed to be at – just put the block on the table, and rolled the stand up to the engine and bolted everything together. Tomorrow I will finally start mocking up the motor.
Cylinders Bored and Honed!

LOL! I said it was RELATIVELY easy… finding a table that matched the height of where the block needed to be at was the key…
